[PATCH 01/24] mtd/maps/pismo: remove dangling pointer and a leak

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Sat Mar 20 2010 - 10:18:44 EST


While looking for drivers which forgot to clear i2c_clientdata before freeing
the data structure it points to, I found that the pismo driver even has a leak
on the probe error path.
