This function is weird.  So far as I can see instead of looping
for_each_child_of_node() it could just do:

	for (i = 0; i < fei->tsin_count; i++) {

It's equivalent and simpler.

The error handling has a double free as well because
configure_memdma_and_inputblock() calls free_input_block() and the
goto err_unmap does too.  It should be:

	while (--i >= 0)
		free_input_block(fei, fei->channel_data[i]);

I'll send a patch for this tomorrow.
