Subject: [patch review] radio-si470x: fix possible bug with freeing memory order
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:01:04 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1238544064.6154.38.camel@tux.localhost> (raw)

Hello, all

There is probably bug when cleanup occurs in si470x_usb_driver_probe.
We do kmalloc for radio->buffer and when it's fail we
kfree(radio->buffer). The same with si470x_get_all_registers() and 
si470x_get_scratch_page_versions(). When this functions failed we go to
err_all and try to free radio->buffer before allocation memory for this.

Patch fixes cleanup procedure in si470x_usb_driver_probe. Add new label
err_video and change order of freeing memory.
