The allocated ieee_ets structure goes out of scope without being freed,
leaking memory. Appropriate result codes should be returned so that
callers do not rely on invalid data passed by reference.
Also cache the ETS config retrieved from the device so that it doesn't
need to be freed. The balance of the code was clearly written with the
intent of having the results of querying the hardware cached in the
device structure. The commensurate store was evidently missed though.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
