ALSA: hda: Fix forget to free resource in error handling code path in hda_codec_driver_probe
PATCH v2 1/1 ALSA: hda: Fix forget to free resource in error handling code path in hda_codec_driver_probe
When hda_codec_driver_probe meet error and return failure, we need to free resource with patch_ops.free, or we will get resource leak.
---
Changes v1-v2:
1: Fix calling patch_ops.free after module_put, reported by Takashi Iwai.
Hi! Takashi Iwai
Because the only one calling site of patch_ops.free is in hda_codec_driver_remove, and if hda_codec_driver_probe return failure, we will no chance to call the hda_codec_driver_remove, so I think we don't need to care below case:
"Or, for safety, we may put an internal flag to indicate that the codec
free got already called, and check it at before calling patch_ops.free, too."
Thanks!

Fair enough, applied now.
I found patch_ca0132.c still misses the free at the error path in its probe function, so I'll fix it.
thanks,
