[PATCH 5/5] drivers/video/msm/mddi_client_nt35399.c: use devm_ functions

From: Damien Cassou <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-03 15:40:40
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-arm-msm, linux-fbdev
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

From: Damien Cassou <redacted>

The various devm_ functions allocate memory that is released when a driver
detaches. This patch replaces the use of kzalloc by devm_kzalloc.

Additionally, this patch fixes a memory leak: some memory was allocated for
'panel' but not released when the subsequent call to setup_vsync fails.
