3.13.11-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin at ingics.com>

commit 0e0cd9ea8961b82947a40471080e7968b634820e upstream.

The memory allocated for chip is not freed anywhere.
Convert to use devm_kzalloc to fix the memory leak.
