Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] staging: fbtft: cleanup fbtft_framebuffer_alloc()

v2:
- Change the earlier patch to also handle the error code returned by
  fb_deferred_io_init() and update Fixes tag to point to the commit that
  introduced the memory allocation (which leads to leak).
- Add second patch to make the error handling order symmetric to
  fbtft_framebuffer_release() and also remove managed allocation for
  txbuf as suggested by Andy and Dan.
