Subject: [PATCH] pxa168fb: Fix the function used to release some memory in an error handling path

In the probe function, some resources are allocated using 'dma_alloc_wc()',
they should be released with 'dma_free_wc()', not 'dma_free_coherent()'.

We already use 'dma_free_wc()' in the remove function, but not in the
error handling path of the probe function.

Also, remove a useless 'PAGE_ALIGN()'. 'info->fix.smem_len' is already
PAGE_ALIGNed.

Fixes: 638772c7553f ("fb: add support of LCD display controller on pxa168/910 (base layer)")

The change about PAGE_ALIGN should probably be part of a separate commit.
However, git history for this driver is really quiet. If you think it
REALLY deserves a separate patch, either split it by yourself or axe this
part of the patch. I won't bother resubmitting for this lonely cleanup.
Hoping for your understanding.
