It won't.

static int hdcs_probe_1x00(struct sd *sd)
{
	....
	sd->sensor_priv = hdcs;
	....
}


static void sd_disconnect(struct usb_interface *intf)
{
	void *priv = sd->sensor_priv;
	....
	kfree(priv);
}

Is it correct?

I don't really understand why, because this allocation refers only to
stv06xx_hdcs, and other stv06xx sensors don't use it.

If hdcs_init() fails, we won't be able to access this pointer, because 
in gspca_dev_probe2() only this code will be executed on error
condition:

	v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(gspca_dev->vdev.ctrl_handler);
	v4l2_device_unregister(&gspca_dev->v4l2_dev);
	kfree(gspca_dev->usb_buf);
	kfree(gspca_dev);

Maybe, I don't properly understand it, can You explain, please?
