[PATCH v2 1/2] staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Fri Feb 18 2022 - 09:02:21 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

One error handler of wfx_init_common() return without calling
ieee80211_free_hw(hw), which may result in memory leak. And I add
one err label to unify the error handler, which is useful for the
subsequent changes.
