On error we jumped to the label bcma_out and returned the error code but
we missed freeing dev.

We recently had a patch that fixes this, among more leaks. Subject:
[PATCH v2 resend] b43: Fix memory leaks in b43_bus_dev_ssb_init and
b43_bus_dev_bcma_init

Please test that patch instead, so we can finally apply it.

It needs to be tested on both ssb and bcma. Come on. This isn't too
hard. :) Please somebody with any hardware test it. (I currently don't
have any b43 hardware)

And the patch can be downloaded from patchwork:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8049041/

I have an old laptop running on 800Mhz CPU. It has "Broadcom BCM4311 [14e4:4311] (rev 01)".
I will try to test it on this weekend.

regards
sudip
