In general, if the `quirks` variable is dynamically allocated during the driver's execution, it should be freed during the driver's uninstallation to avoid memory leaks. If it is a static or constant variable, it does not need to be explicitly freed.
In this patch, quirks is used to store the pointer to "dmi->driver_data", I will add your ack flag for this patch if you have no concern for this.
+ quirks = dmi->driver_data;
