[PATCH] rtc: rtc-sh - fix a memory leak
From: Axel Lin
Date: Mon Nov 08 2010 - 00:31:32 EST
request_mem_region() will call kzalloc to allocate memory for struct resource.
release_resource() unregisters the resource but does not free the allocated
memory, thus use release_mem_region() instead to fix the memory leak.
