create_dtb() function allocates memory for the device tree blob (DTB) and calls fdt_open_into(). If this call fails the memory allocated for the DTB is not freed before returning from create_dtb() thereby leaking memory. Call vfree() to free the memory allocated for the DTB if fdt_open_into() fails.
