mtd: brcmnand: improve memory management

Browse source

This patch addresses two related memory management issues in the probe
function:

1. for_each_available_child_of_node performs an of_node_get on each
iteration, so a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr):

// <smpl>
@@
expression root,e;
local idexpression child;
@@

 for_each_available_child_of_node(root, child) {
   ... when != of_node_put(child)
       when != e = child
(
   return child;
|
+  of_node_put(child);
?  return ...;
)
   ...
 }
// </smpl>

2. The devm_kzalloc'd data is not used if brcmnand_init_cs fails.  Free it
immediately, using devm_kfree in this case, instead of waiting for the
remove function.
