Coverity (CID 1405786) thinks that there is a possible memory leak as
we don't guarantee that the memory allocated from riscv_find_firmware()
is freed. This is a false positive, but let's tidy up the code to fix
the warning.

Ping? It would be nice to see this patch get into master
to silence the coverity errors.

thanks

Sorry, it looks like I dropped this.  It's in my queue, I hope to submit a PR 
soon.
