We have to and of_flash_remove() takes care of it.
Does this mean that the original patch is fine or does it still need the kfree? From what i understand when going to err_out it will take care of info using of_flash_remove() so then it is not needed in the if check.

The original patch was fine but it leaked info. of_flash_remove() does the
cleanup of info but only if it is part of driver's data (after the
of_flash_remove()). So you have to call dev_set_drvdata(&dev->dev, info)
earlier, after the kzalloc() to save the data or else there is no clean
up.
