[PATCH] drm/msm: fix unbalanced DRM framebuffer init/destroy

From: Stephane Viau
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 09:48:41 EST


When msm_framebuffer_init() fails before calling drm_framebuffer_init(),
drm_framebuffer_cleanup() [called in msm_framebuffer_destroy()]
is still being called even though drm_framebuffer_init() was not
called for that buffer. Thus a NULL pointer derefencing:
