Subject: i2c: i2c-boardinfo: fix memory leaks on devinfo

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 66a7c84d677e8e4a5a2ef4afdb9bd52e1399a866 ]

Currently when an error occurs devinfo is still allocated but is unused when the error exit paths break out of the for-loop. Fix this by kfree'ing devinfo to avoid the leak.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1416590 ("Resource Leak")
