Subject: [PATCH] media: usb: go7007: Fix warning: passing freed memory 'fw'
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2023 20:00:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230809010026.GA4770@madhu-kernel> (raw)

Fix smatch warning - go7007_loader_probe() warn: passing freed memory 'fw'

The 'fw' pointer is released using release_firmware(fw) and then being used
again in another request_firmware() call without being reassigned to a new
memory allocation. To resolve it, use separate variables for each request.
