    ALSA: ASoC: Fix double free and memory leak in many codec drivers · 3051e41a
    Jean Delvare authored
    
    
    Many SoC audio codec drivers have improper freeing of memory in error
    paths.
    
    * codec is allocated in the platform device probe function, but is not
      freed there in case of error. Instead it is freed in the i2c device
      probe function's error path. However the success or failure of both
      functions is not linked, so this could result in a double free (if
      the platform device is successfully probed, the i2c device probing
      fails and then the platform driver is unregistered.)
    
    * codec->private_data is allocated in many platform device probe
      functions but not freed in their error paths.
    
    This patch hopefully solves all these problems.
