Subject: [PATCH 3/6] drivers/mfd: Correct use after free

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

The structure t7l66xb should not be freed before the subsequent references
to its fields in the arguments to clk_put.  Furthermore, this structure is
allocated near the beginning of the function, and a goto to the label
err_noirq appears after a successful allocation, so it would seem that the
kfree should be moved down below this label.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
identifier f;
iterator I;
statement S;
@@

*kfree(x);
... when != &x
    when != x = e
    when != I(x,...) S
*x->f
// </smpl>
