This avoids leaking memory if brcmf_chip_get_raminfo fails. Note that
the CLM blob is released in the device remove path.

Can we first undo the things and only after print a message?

Having message first usually is more preferred because at minimum you'll
get the message if "undoing the things" crashes, i.e. will be more
obvious what happened.

If "undo the things" crashes, I would rather like to see that crash
report, while serial UART at 9600 will continue flushing the message
and then hang without any pointers to what the heck happened. Not
here, but in general, messages are also good to be out of the locks.

What would be your motivation? When reading logs I am used to seeing an 
error message followed by cleanup related messages. Following your 
suggestion you could see cleanup related messages, the error print as 
above, followed by more cleanup related messages. The cleanup routine 
would preferably be silent, but I tend to flip on extra debug message 
levels.

Arend

The hang is actually a better example. It's the most annoying when there
is a silent hang and no error messages.
