Subject: [PATCH] platform/chrome: cros_ec_i2c: Less function calls in
 cros_ec_cmd_xfer_i2c() after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2023 08:36:49 +0100

The kfree() function was called in up to two cases by
the cros_ec_cmd_xfer_i2c() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Adjust jump targets.

* Delete two initialisations which became unnecessary
  with this refactoring.
