Yes, moreover the "failed:" error path is incomplete (please take
a look at au1200fb_drv_remove() for comparison) and needs to be fixed.

Could you please take care of it?

I will try, but be indulgent :)

My understanding of the code is that they are several issues all related 
to this error handling path (double free, missing memory release, 
invalid irq release...)
I will try to sort it out, but my first tries will likely be incomplete 
and/or broken.
