I've fixed these up myself.

smatch also noticed one new problem:

drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c:248 of_flash_probe() warn: possible memory leak of 'mtd_list' [smatch]

This matches an existing leak seen in this function already, but my
scripts look for new warnings. Would be nice to fix this sometime.

Applied to l2-mtd.git, with the above 2 fixed.
