After the switch to use v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev() and
v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup(), unloading the ti_cal module would casue a
kernel oops.

This was root cause to the fact that v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup() tries
to kfree the asd pointer passed into v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev().

In our case the asd reference was from a statically allocated struct.
So in effect v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup() was trying to free a pointer
that was not kalloc.

So here we switch to using a kzalloc struct instead of a static one.

Fixes: d079f94c9046 ("media: platform: Switch to v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev")

Thanks, this fixes the crash for me.

It does look a bit odd that something is allocated with kzalloc, and then it's freed somewhere 
inside v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup, though. But if that's how it supposed to be used, looks fine to me.

Well, sent that a few seconds too early... With this patch, I see kmemleaks.

This is caused by allocating asd for all ports, even if the port is not used, causing the allocated asd to be forgotten. Also, any error there would cause leak too.

I think something like this fixes both the unused port case and error paths:

Tomi,

Thanks for the review, and fix!

Yes I see that now. Good catch.
I'll fix it in v2.
