component: fix crash on x86_64 with hda audio drivers
Maarten reports that the addition of releasing match data to the component helper results in a general protection fault on x86_64. This is caused by the devm resources being freed in reverse order to their allocation, which caused a use-after-free of the match array. Switch the match array to be a more conventional kmalloc/kfree() affair, explicitly freeing it along with the parent match data structure. Reported-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Fixes: ce657b1cddf1 ("component: add support for releasing match data") Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
