This is a 14-patch series from Abdun Nihaal fixing various memory leaks in fbdev drivers, found via static analysis. The series falls into four categories: (1) missing cleanup of `fb_deferred_io_init()` pageref allocations, (2) missing `fb_destroy_modelist()` on error paths, (3) missing `kfree()` of option strings from `fb_get_options()`, and (4) a missing `kfree()` of EDID data. All patches were compile-tested only.
Overall the series is well-structured, clearly described, and the cover letter does a good job grouping the fixes by root cause. Most patches are straightforward and correct. However, there are issues in patches 4 (radeon), 7 (nvidia), and 14 (sm501fb) that need attention, and patches 12 and 13 (efifb/vesafb) need verification of the ownership claim about `fb_get_options()`.
**Verdict: Mostly good, a few patches need revision or closer scrutiny.**
