[ Upstream commit 1646566b5e0c556f779180a8514e521ac735de1e ]

'ftdi' is alloced when probe device, but not free on device disconnect,
this cause a memory leak as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff88800d584000 (size 8400):
comm "kworker/0:2", pid 3809, jiffies 4295453055 (age 13.784s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 40 58 0d 80 88 ff ff 00 40 58 0d 80 88 ff ff .@X......@X.....
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de .............N..

Fix it by freeing 'ftdi' after nobody use it.
