You still need to free tmp allocation if qib_eeprom_write failed and
this is your bail_tmp.

341         tmp = kmalloc(count, GFP_KERNEL);
342         if (!tmp) {
343                 ret = -ENOMEM;
344                 goto bail;
345         }
346
347         if (copy_from_user(tmp, buf, count)) {
348                 ret = -EFAULT;
349                 goto bail_tmp;
350         }
351
352         dd = private2dd(file);
353         if (qib_eeprom_write(dd, pos, tmp, count)) {
354                 ret = -ENXIO;
355                 qib_dev_err(dd, "failed to write to flash\n");
356                 goto bail_tmp;
357         }
