Jianglei Nie 47d3949a9b staging: fbtft: core: fix potential memory leak in fbtft_probe_common()
fbtft_probe_common() allocates a memory chunk for "info" with
fbtft_framebuffer_alloc(). When "display->buswidth == 0" is true, the
function returns without releasing the "info", which will lead to a
memory leak.

Fix it by calling fbtft_framebuffer_release() when "display->buswidth
== 0" is true.

  FBTFT
=========

Linux Framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCD display modules.
The module 'fbtft' makes writing drivers for some of these displays very easy.

Development is done on a Raspberry Pi running the Raspbian "wheezy" distribution.

INSTALLATION
  Download kernel sources

  From Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Before Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Enable driver(s) in menuconfig and build the kernel
