[patch] drm/tegra: small leak on error in tegra_fb_alloc()

[Dan Carpenter]

If we don't have enough memory for ->planes then we leak "fb".

Hi Dan,

Thanks for catching this. Perhaps tweak the commit subject to:

	drm/tegra: fix small leak on error in tegra_fb_alloc()

?

One additional comment below.

I think in this case I'd actually prefer for the kfree(fb) to be
duplicated and not have this error unwind. It's actually shorter
to do it that way in this case.

What I mean is:

	if (!fb->planes) {
		kfree(fb);
		return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
	}
