If, after registering a logical PIO range, the driver probe later fails, the logical PIO range memory will be released automatically.
This causes an issue, in that the logical PIO range is not unregistered and the released range memory may be later referenced.
As an interim fix, allocate the logical PIO range with kzalloc() to avoid this memory being freed.
Further memory will not be leaked from later attempts to probe the driver, as any attempts to allocate logical PIO ranges will fail, and we would release the 'range' memory.
The correct fix for this problem would be to tear down what had been setup during the probe, i.e. unregister the logical PIO range, but this is not supported.
Support for unregistering logical PIO ranges will need be to added in future.
