The first thing you do in either branch is to call
kfree(ulFibreFrame); , so instead of having the call in both branches
you might as well just have one call before the if().  Ohh and this
looks like it could do with a CodingStyle cleanup as well.

kfree(ulFibreFrame);
if (fchs->pl[0] == ELS_LILP_FRAME)
        return 1; /* found the LILP frame! */
/* keep looking */
