From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d4fddac5a51c378c5d3e68658816c37132611e1f ] In test_firmware_init(), the buffer pointed to by the global pointer 'test_fw_config' is allocated through kzalloc(). Then, the buffer is initialized in __test_firmware_config_init(). In the case that the initialization fails, the following execution in test_firmware_init() needs to be terminated with an error code returned to indicate this failure. However, the allocated buffer is not freed on this execution path, leading to a memory leak bug. To fix the above issue, free the allocated buffer before returning from test_firmware_init().
