Currently the kfree of pointer qfprom_cdata is kfreeing an
error value that has been cast to a pointer rather than a
valid address.  Fix this by removing the kfree.

Hmm, we just added this to other places[1] as a fix for mem leaks
using the nvmem api. >
This patch has nothing to do with the memleak fix.
I think we need to fix up the qfprom_read wrapper. Srini?

not sure how we can fix that, as the pointer returned from read is needs to be freed by the caller after its done with it!

--srini
