Subject: drivers/misc/atmel_tclib.c: fix a memory leak
From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@xxxxxxxxx>
request_mem_region() will call kzalloc to allocate memory for struct
resource. release_resource() unregisters the resource but does not free
the allocated memory, thus use release_mem_region() instead to fix the
memory leak.
