Consequently, error paths triggered after\nsuccessfully parsing the EEPROM free priv->nvm_data but leak\npriv->eeprom_blob.\n\nFix this memory leak by reordering the error handling labels so\nthat out_free_eeprom falls through to out_free_eeprom_blob.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly\navailable. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still\npresent in v7.1-rc6.\n\nAn x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have\nsupported Intel DVM wireless hardware and firmware to test with, no\nruntime testing was able to be performed."
