From: Navid Emamdoost navid.emamdoost@gmail.com Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 22:09:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: fbtft: fix memory leak in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc
In fbtft_framebuffer_alloc the error handling path should take care of releasing frame buffer after it is allocated via framebuffer_alloc, too. Therefore, in two failure cases the goto destination is changed to address this issue.
