(resend of patch previously submitted on 04-Aug-2007 02:09)
Hi,
In sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0.c::snd_vortex_create() : The Coverity checker found that if we allocate storage for 'chip' but then leave via the regions_out: label, then we end up leaking the storage allocated for 'chip'. I believe simply freeing 'chip' before the "return err;" line is all we need to fix this, but please double-check me :)
