drivers/video/pnx4008: eliminate double free
The function framebuffer_release just calls kfree, so calling kfree subsequently on the same argument represents a double free. The comments with the definition of framebuffer_release in drivers/video/fbsysfs.c suggest that a more elaborate definition of this function is planned, such that the splitting up of framebuffer_release and kfree as done in the second instance might someday make sense, but it does not make sense now. This was found using the following semantic match.
