Subject: [PATCH][V2] brcmfmac: fix leak of mypkt on error return path

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently if the call to brcmf_sdiod_set_backplane_window fails then
then error return path leaks mypkt. Fix this by returning by a new
error path labelled 'out' that calls brcmu_pkt_buf_free_skb to free
mypkt.  Also remove redundant check on err before calling
brcmf_sdiod_skbuff_write.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource Leak")
Fixes: a7c3aa1509e2 ("brcmfmac: Remove brcmf_sdiod_addrprep()")

V2: Remove  redundant check on err before calling
brcmf_sdiod_skbuff_write, kudos to Dan Carpenter and Arend Van Spriel
for spotting this.
