    staging: vt6655: fix some erroneous memory clean-up loops
    
    [ Upstream commit 2a2db520e3ca5aafba7c211abfd397666c9b5f9d ]
    
    In some initialization functions of this driver, memory is allocated with
    'i' acting as an index variable and increasing from 0. The commit in
    "Fixes" introduces some clean-up codes in case of allocation failure,
    which free memory in reverse order with 'i' decreasing to 0. However,
    there are some problems:
      - The case i=0 is left out. Thus memory is leaked.
      - In case memory allocation fails right from the start, the memory
        freeing loops will start with i=-1 and invalid memory locations will
        be accessed.
    
    One of these loops has been fixed in commit c8ff91535880 ("staging:
    vt6655: fix potential memory leak"). Fix the remaining erroneous loops.
