[PATCH v1 1/3] auxdisplay: lcd2s: Fix lcd2s_redefine_char() feature

[Andy Shevchenko]

It seems that the lcd2s_redefine_char() has never been properly
tested. The buffer is filled by DEF_CUSTOM_CHAR command followed
by the character number (from 0 to 7), but immediately after that
these bytes are got rewritten by the decoded hex stream.

Fix the index to fill the buffer after the command and number.

[PATCH v1 2/3] auxdisplay: lcd2s: Fix memory leak in ->remove()

[Andy Shevchenko]

Once allocated the struct lcd2s_data is never freed.
Fix the memory leak by switching to devm_kzalloc().

[PATCH v1 3/3] auxdisplay: lcd2s: Use proper API to free the instance of charlcd object

[Andy Shevchenko]

While it might work, the current approach is fragile in a few ways:
- whenever members in the structure are shuffled, the pointer will be wrong
- the resource freeing may include more than covered by kfree()

Fix this by using charlcd_free() call instead of kfree().

Any comments on this, please? There are fixes and seems auxdisplay subsystem
is a bit lagging... Should we worry about?
