[grabbing some brown paper bags]

I'm sorry. That was one of the manually adapted ones :(
Here is the typo corrected:

Subject: [PATCH V2] mtd/maps/pismo: remove dangling pointer and a leak

While looking for drivers which forgot to clear i2c_clientdata before freeing
the data structure it points to, I found that the pismo driver even has a leak
on the probe error path.

David, are you going to pick this up?

Thanks. The handling of the dangling pointer will be handled differently from
2.6.35 on, but I will prepare the necessary fixup then. The fixed leak was
good to have, I think.
