Could you list the actual bugs which were fixed:

1) The resources were not freed in the order that we allocated them
   so we call dma_free_coherent() before it was allocated.
2) The labels weren't in the right place which also meant that we
   freed resources that weren't allocated.
3) We should free gpio_free(P_IDENT(P_PPI0_FS3)) before returning.

The new gpio_free() is more important than the added label.

Since you're changing all these, you may as well fix the label names
as well.  The out_9 style labels suck.  The right way is to give
them meaningful labels instead of GW-BASIC style labels.

Labels should be named after what happens when you arrive.  Some
people name them after the start of the journey but that's a
mistake.  It's just like the town of Chicago is still called Chicago
even though you might goto Chicago starting from Boston.  Like this:

err_ppi:
	free_dma(CH_PPI);
	fb_dealloc_cmap(&fbdev->info.cmap);
err_palette:
	kfree(fbdev->info.pseudo_palette);
