[PATCH] drivers/misc: atmel_tclib: fix a memory leak

From: Axel Lin
Date: Thu Mar 10 2011 - 03:19:27 EST


request_mem_region() will call kzalloc to allocate memory for struct resource.
release_resource() unregisters the resource but does not free the allocated
memory, thus use release_mem_region() instead to fix the memory leak.
