Fix smatch warning - go7007_loader_probe() warn: passing freed memory 'fw' The 'fw' pointer is released using release_firmware(fw) and then being used again in another request_firmware() call without being reassigned to a new memory allocation. To resolve it, use separate variables for each request.
