Can you try the below patch?
I think we shouldn't free buffers yet in ->stop() because we need the
command buffer sending power commands to the device. Also it seems that
->start() re-allocates buffers anyway if maximum size increases.
It shouldn't even leak memory as we release buffers at ->remove()
anyway.
