From: Michael Straube <straube.linux@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 39850edf2befe27bcb3d6c37b6ee76d2ee4df903 ] In function load_firmware() release_firmware() is not called if the allocation of pFirmware->szFwBuffer fails or if fw->size is greater than FW_8188E_SIZE. Move the call to release_firmware() to the exit label at the end of the function to fix this.
