[PATCH v2 1/5] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_wx_read32()

From: Christian Engelmayer
Date: Wed May 07 2014 - 15:53:17 EST


Function rtw_wx_read32() dynamically allocates a temporary buffer that is not
freed in all error paths. Use a centralized exit path and make sure that all
memory is freed correctly. Detected by Coverity - CID 1077711.
