[PATCH] Memory leak in mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c

Hi Andrew,

Patch against 2.6-test5.

If other kmallocs failed after successfully allocating a "struct mtd_info", it should be freed before returning NULL.

This function is called by inter_module_register...so I'm not sure it should really be freed...please review :)

Don't have the hardware, so just compilation checked.

Found by the Stanford Checker.

Thanks,
