This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

Staging: fbtft: fix memory leak in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

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.
