We leak the memory allocated to 'firmware' when we fail to release_firmware() after a kmalloc() failure in hpi_dsp_code_open(). This patch should take care of the leak.

IMO, it's better to use the same error handling like others, i.e. "goto error2". But you want to pass a different error code, so we'd need to introduce an error code variable there...
