From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9ed331f8a0fb674f4f06edf05a1687bf755af27b upstream.
While it might work, the current approach is fragile in a few ways:
- whenever members in the structure are shuffled, the pointer will be wrong
- the resource freeing may include more than covered by kfree()
Fix this by using charlcd_free() call instead of kfree().
Fixes: 8c9108d014c5 ("auxdisplay: add a driver for lcd2s character display")
