Since an input device which has passed 'input_register_device()' should be released with 'input_unregister_device()', adjust 'sur40_probe()' to do so and call 'input_free_device()' to handle device register error only. To avoid V4L2 memory leak, ensure that 'v4l2_ctrl_handler_free()' is called on all error handling paths, including the one after 'video_register_device()' failure.

This label is shared by three other gotos which run before input_register_device. So for example if kmalloc(sur40->bulk_in_size) fails we will go to err_free_input which will call input_unregister_device with a device that was never registered, and could potentially lead to some NULL-ptr deref. -- Vasileios Almpanis [off-list ref]
