[PATCH] staging: bcm2835: Fix a memory leak in error handling path

From: Christophe JAILLET <hidden>
Date: 2017-02-19 10:34:44
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-media, lkml
Subsystem: media input infrastructure (v4l/dvb), staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Mauro Carvalho Chehab, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

If 'kzalloc()' fails, we should release resources allocated so far, just as
done in all other cases in this function.

Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <redacted>

Not sure that the error handling path is correct.
Is 'gdev[0]' freed? Should it be?
