[PATCH] HID: multitouch: prevent memleak with the allocated name

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Wed May 29 2013 - 16:21:10 EST


mt_free_input_name() was never called during .remove(): hid_hw_stop()
removes the hid_input items in hdev->inputs, and so the list is
therefore empty after the call. In the end, we never free the special
names that has been allocated during .probe().

We switch to devm_kzalloc that manages resources when driver is removed.
