Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [media] ddbridge: Do not free_irq() if request_irq() failed

From: Takeshi Yoshimura <yos@...ab.ics.keio.ac.jp>

My static checker detected that free_irq() is called even after 
request_irq() failed in ddb_probe(). In this case, the kernel may try to 
free dev->pdev->irq although the IRQ is not assigned. This event rarely 
occurs, but always introduces a warning if it happens.

"goto fail1" always results in disabling enabled MSI and releasing a 
requested IRQ. It seems like the former handling is necessary. So I added
a conditional branch before the free_irq() (stat == 0 means request_irq() 
succeeds).
