4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8fed6823e06e43ee9cf7c0ffecec2f9111ce6201 ]
The AR5K_EEPROM_READ macro returns with -EIO if a read error
occurs causing a memory leak on the allocated buffer buf. Fix
this by explicitly calling ath5k_hw_nvram_read and exiting on
the via the freebuf label that performs the necessary free'ing
of buf when a read error occurs.
