arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c: release rapidio port I/O region resource if port failed to initialize
The "struct rio_mport" contains a member of master port I/O memory resource structure "struct resource iores". This resource will be read from device tree and be used for rapidio R/W transaction memory space. Rapidio requests the port I/O memory resource under the root resource "iomem_resource". struct rio_mport *port; port = kzalloc(sizeof(struct rio_mport), GFP_KERNEL); request_resource(&iomem_resource, &port->iores); When port failed to initialize, allocated "rio_mport" structure memory will be freed, and the port I/O memory resource structure pointer "&port->iores" will be invalid. If other requests resource under "iomem_resource", "&port->iores" node may be operated in the child resources list and this will cause the system to crash. So the requested port I/O memory resource should be released before freeing allocated "rio_mport" structure.
