Use g_autofree here instead of later g_free.

I'm not familiar with fwcfg data format, but I'm wondering
what the initial 'uint32_t' data field is that you're skipping
over, and whether its value should be validated before this
loop ?

I'd recommend refactoring of existnig code, be a separate commit
from the newly added functionality.

The size_t cast is redundant, since we know sizeof(size_t)
will be >= sizeof(uint32_t) on all platforms

Another redundant cast
