Subject: [PATCH 1/1] taging: fbtft: fix memory leak

From: Xidong Wang <2711406067@...com>

In function fbtft_framebuffer_alloc(), the memory allocated by
framebuffer_alloc() is not released on the error path that txbuflen > 0
and txbuf, which holds the return value of devm_kzalloc(), is NULL.
This will result in a memory leak bug.
