[PATCH] media: dvb-usb: m920x: Fix a potential memory leak in m920x_i2c_xfer()

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Mon May 29 2023 - 02:11:08 EST


'read' is freed when it is known to be NULL, but not when a read error
occurs.

Revert the logic to avoid a small leak, should a m920x_read() call fail.

Fixes: a2ab06d7c4d6 ("media: m920x: don't use stack on USB reads")
