Abdun Nihaal 3e92c91955 staging: fbtft: cleanup error handling in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc()
The error handling in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc() mixes managed allocation
and plain allocation, and performs error handling in an order different
from the order in fbtft_framebuffer_release().

Fix them by moving vmem allocation closer to where it is used, and using
plain kzalloc() for txbuf allocation. Also remove the duplicate call to
fb_deferred_io_cleanup().

  FBTFT
=========

Linux Framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCD display modules.
The module 'fbtft' makes writing drivers for some of these displays very easy.

Development is done on a Raspberry Pi running the Raspbian "wheezy" distribution.

INSTALLATION
  Download kernel sources

  From Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Before Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Enable driver(s) in menuconfig and build the kernel
