Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: spi-nor: fix a memory leak bug

In spi_nor_parse_4bait(), 'dwords' is allocated through kmalloc(). However,
it is not deallocated in the following execution if spi_nor_read_sfdp()
fails, leading to a memory leak. To fix this issue, free 'dwords' before
returning the error.

Fixes: 816873eaeec6 ("mtd: spi-nor: parse SFDP 4-byte Address Instruction
Table")

^ Miquel, maybe you can drop this new line when applying.

This is a good candidate for mtd/fixes, so:

Since the bug was not introduced in the previous release and we are quite late
for mtd/fixes,

Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux.git,
spi-nor/next branch.

Thanks,
