There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference.
Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

This looks incorrect.
request_mem_region, which I believe is a prerequisite for this function
may not be called when you jump here.

It is useful to put the output of the analyzer here.

The proper fix is to move the release to the proper place, before kfree.
Even better would probably be a devm_* conversion.

I agree with Wolfram Sang's opinion. Please call release_mem_region()
prior to kfree().
One more thing, don't use braces when a single statement
is used. Please refer to 'Chapter 3: Placing Braces and Spaces'
of 'Documentation/CodingStyle'.
Best regards,
