Thanks for the review Takashi.

I have one question:

line6_midibuf_destroy() have no NULL check for the memory to free.

If line6midi->midibuf_in is in this->buf = NULL from
line6_midibuf_init() with memory allocation failed,
won't the free(NULL) when accessed by snd_line6_midi_free() to
line6_midibuf_destroy()?

In the first patch, I was making a misunderstanding
Now that you mention it, I can see where it's freeing!
It helped me a lot in analyzing the driver code.

Please let me know if I've misunderstood anything.

Warm Regards,
