The memory pointed by eeprom_buf is used as 'data' buf of 8 
SMBusEEPROMDevice after initialization.  And it calls qdev_init_nofail, 
which will exit on failure. it should be ok to leave it there. Anyway, 
you shouldn't free it in the initialization.

I'm afraid I was too fast when I sent a patch with memory leak, and 
don't look it carefully , It was a pointer to a pointer.

I agree with Mark Wu.
