What if b43_one_core_attach fails? Won't we miss kfree then as well?
Shouldn't you simply improve error path and maybe use an additional
label? Also may we be missing a proper free in b43_bcma_remove as
well?

Your patch subject could also be a bit more descriptive (e.g. what
memory leak exactly is it).
