Subject[PATCH] staging: bcm2835-audio: Fix memory corruption
Date
I'm all for fixing memory leaks, but freeing a block while it is still
being used is a recipe for hard-to-debug kernel exceptions.

1) There is already a vchi method for freeing the instance, so use it.
2) Only call it on error, and then only before initted is false.
