malloc() allocations released with delete in mlxlink/modules/mlxlink_cables_commander.cpp

[tzafrir-mellanox]

mstflint 4.16.0 fails to build on current Debian development version (using gcc 11). Same problem with 4.17.0 .

Example error message:
mlxlink_cables_commander.cpp:386:41: note: returned from ‘void* malloc(size_t)’
386 | u_int8_t page0L = (u_int8_t)malloc(sizeof(u_int8_t) * CABLE_PAGE_SIZE);
