Nit:
+	struct vc_map *vc = card->vcs[0];

I have not found any opportunity for a double free related to the patch.

So, other than the nit above:

Reviewed-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@...zoreil.com>

FWIW
- the driver leaks on error in open_card_ubr0.
- some forward declarations (alloc_scq, free_scq, etc.) are useless.
- struct idt77252_dev.next is useless. It was probably cargo-culted from
  some driver while hoping to enumerate devices (not that uncommon the
  early 2000). PCI driver registeering could thus look more idiomatic.
- deinit_card can be called two times in an error path and trigger a BUG_ON
  in atm_dev_deregister.
