as comedi_alloc_subdevices may fail, we leak out the memory allocated by alloc_private,
and also the I/O regions we requested.

free out the private data pointer of the driver, and release the I/O regions

As mentioned in my comment for your PATCH 1/2, this is unneccessary. In fact it will resuly in dev->private being freed twice and the I/O region being released twice due to clean-up in the comedi core when fl512_attach() returns an error, which will also call fl512_detach() during the clean-up.
