The "lat_buf->private_data" needs to be set to NULL to prevent a
double free. How this would happen is if vdec_msg_queue_init() failed
twice in a row and on the second time it failed earlier than on the
first time.
The vdec_msg_queue_init() function has a loop which does:
for (i = 0; i < NUM_BUFFER_COUNT; i++) {
Each iteration initializes one element in the msg_queue->lat_buf[] array
and then the clean up function vdec_msg_queue_deinit() frees each
element of the msg_queue->lat_buf[] array. This clean up code relies
on the assumption that every element is either initialized or zeroed.
Leaving a freed pointer which is non-zero breaks the assumption.

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.
