Subject: [PATCH 3.10 72/80] mei: nfc: fix memory leak in error path

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@...el.com>

commit 4bff7208f332b2b1d7cf1338e50527441283a198 upstream.

The flow may reach the err label without freeing cl and cl_info

cl and cl_info weren't assigned to ndev->cl and cl_info
so they weren't freed in mei_nfc_free called on error path
