Subject: [PATCH] drivers/mtd/lpddr/lpddr_cmds.c: eliminate double free

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

The only call to lpddr_cmdset is in the function defined in lpddr_probe
drivers/mtd/lpddr/qinfo_probe.c.  If the result of calling lpddr_cmdset is
NULL, this function frees lpddr.  So lpddr should not be freed in
lpddr_cmdset.

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>
