The "auto-attach" handler function `gsc_hpdi_auto_attach()` calls `dma_alloc_coherent()` in a loop to allocate some DMA data buffers, and also calls it to allocate a buffer for a DMA descriptor chain. However, it does not check the return value of any of these calls. Change `gsc_hpdi_auto_attach()` to return `-ENOMEM` if any of these `dma_alloc_coherent()` calls fail. This will result in the comedi core calling the "detach" handler `gsc_hpdi_detach()` as part of the clean-up, which will call `gsc_hpdi_free_dma()` to free any allocated DMA coherent memory buffers.
