Nice catches Daeseok. I don't maintain this driver, but I have some
suggestions below.

I think it would be nice to keep all of the cleanup under the err_master
label.
That could be done by changing the kern_buf allocation in this part to
a devm_kmalloc. Then devm handles the kern_buf freeing entirely.

Using devm_kmalloc as mentioned above, the while loop could be
simplified to this:
err_master:
while (i >= MASTER_MINOR) {
vme_master_free(image[i].resource);
i--;
}
If not moving to devm, this should be safe even though the first
kern_buf may be NULL:
err_master:
while (i >= MASTER_MINOR) {
kfree(image[i].kern_buf);
vme_master_free(image[i].resource);
i--;
}
