In das1800_attach, the buffer allocated via kmalloc_array needs to be

Commedit calls ->detach() if the ->attach() fails so this patch would
lead to a double free.  See comedi_device_attach():

drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c
    983          }
    984          if (!driv->attach) {
    985                  /* driver does not support manual configuration */
    986                  dev_warn(dev->class_dev,
    987                           "driver '%s' does not support attach using comedi_config\n",
    988                           driv->driver_name);
    989                  module_put(driv->module);
    990                  ret = -EIO;
    991                  goto out;
    992          }
    993          dev->driver = driv;
    994          dev->board_name = dev->board_ptr ? *(const char **)dev->board_ptr
    995                                           : dev->driver->driver_name;
    996          ret = driv->attach(dev, it);
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    997          if (ret >= 0)
    998                  ret = comedi_device_postconfig(dev);
    999          if (ret < 0) {
   1000                  comedi_device_detach(dev);
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   1001                  module_put(driv->module);
   1002          }
   1003          /* On success, the driver module count has been incremented. */

Yes, everything should be freed properly by comedi_device_detach(). From comedi_device_detach(), some of the stuff is freed by dev->driver->detach(), and the remainder is freed by comedi_device_detach_cleanup().
