This fix introduces a new label named free_irq_vectors to release the dynamically allocated memory region pointed to by pdev, thereby fixing the memory leak defect.

Hi,

You left most of my comments unaddressed. :-( Please don't send a new
version unless you've addressed all the comments.

You also need to name version of the patch on subject line and provide the
version history here underneath --- line.
