mtd is just member of bcm47xxsflash, so we should free bcm47xxsflash not its member.
So I use devm_kazlloc instead of kazlloc to avoid it.

* Changelog:
   convert to devm_kzalloc

I think you should use
mtd: bcm47xxsflash:
prefix for both patches, but Artem or David may want to comment on that.

Nice trick with that devm_kzalloc, I didn't know it.
