Lots of things seem to be still allocated here and must be properly

That's not true, the core already has cleanup for everything else
(as the followup patch in your series identified, though it was a
bit confused as to how).

 		RT5645_HWEQ_NUM, sizeof(struct rt5645_eq_param_s),
 		GFP_KERNEL);

-	if (!rt5645->eq_param)
-		return -ENOMEM;
-

Without the followup patch (which I don't think is suitable for
stable) this will just remove error checking.  It's not likely to
happen and hence make a difference but on the other hand it
introduces a problem, especially when backported in isolation.

I'll drop this and the follow up patch, thanks.
