[PATCH iio-next] iio: proximity: Fix use-after-free in hx9023s_send_cfg()

[Dheeraj Reddy Jonnalagadda]

Reorder the assignment of fw_size to happen before release_firmware()
to avoid accessing the firmware structure after it's been freed.

Fixes: e9ed97be4fcc ("iio: proximity: hx9023s: Added firmware file parsing functionality")
Closes: https://scan7.scan.coverity.com/#/project-view/52337/11354?selectedIssue=1602791

Gah. I didn't see this until after I'd sent the pull request.
Never mind, we have plenty of time to get this in during the rc1 cycles.

I'll queue it up after rc1.

Thanks,

Jonathan

I've now queued it but on a fixes tree I can't push out just
yet because it will make a mess of linux-next (it is ahead
of some trees that come later in the merge order for next).

Anyhow, that will all resolve during the merge window and I'll rebase
on rc1.

Thanks,

Jonathan
