Subject: [PATCH 4.9 41/68] media: si470x-i2c: Move free() past last use of radio

From: Lee Jones <lee.jones@...aro.org>

A pointer to 'struct si470x_device' is currently used after free:

  drivers/media/radio/si470x/radio-si470x-i2c.c:462:25-30: ERROR: reference
    preceded by free on line 460

Shift the call to free() down past its final use.

NB: Not sending to Mainline, since the problem does not exist there, it was
caused by the backport of 2df200ab234a ("media: si470x-i2c: add missed
operations in remove") to the stable trees.
