Subject: [PATCH 0/4] fix a memory leak related to
	request_mem_region/release_mem_region usage

This serial of patches fixes a memory leak related to request_mem_region
and release_mem_region usage.

request_mem_region() will call kzalloc to allocate memory for struct resource.
release_resource() unregisters the resource but does not free the allocated
memory, thus use release_mem_region() instead to fix the memory leak.


Axel Lin (4):
  [ARM] davinci_mmc: fix a memory leak
  [ARM] mvsdio: fix a memory leak
  [ARM] pxamci: fix a memory leak
  [ARM] mxcmmc: remove a unnecessary release_resource() call
