Dear Mattias Hansson,

In message 20211123080633.8318-1-hansson.mattias@gmail.com you wrote:

If `sb_load_cmdfile()` fails to open the configuration file it will jump to error handling where the code will try to `fclose()` the FILE pointer which is NULL causing `mkimage` to segfault.

This patch removes the `fclose()` since `fopen()` always returns NULL instead of the file descriptor when failing.

The whole code with the goto is ugly. Such an error exit may make sense when used in several places, but here it just makes reading the code more difficult. I suggest to fix this like this:

Thanks.
