We're freeing the gsm->dlci[] array elements but leaving the freed pointers hanging around.
My concern here is if we use the ioctl to change the config, it triggers a restart in gsmld_config(). In that case, we would only reset the first ->dlci[0] element and not the others so it does look to me like a possible use after free.
