Not needed anymore. Drop it fast before it encourages anyone to
violate layers again!

Coverity has brought up the following problems:
mstarddc_spi_send_command():
- CID 1270702: bad comparison of malloced pointer 'cmd'.
- CID 1270701: a NULL pointer dereference possible because of above.
Simply checking the return value of malloc in a valid way fixes both problems.
mstarddc_spi_init():
- CID 1270699 and 1270700: Memory leak of i2c_device.
This patch revamps the function in various ways to fix these issues and some
other irritating bits.
It reduces scopes of variables where possible, pushes the code towards our
coding standards and introduces a label-based resource cleanup at the end.

Basically, among other chips, MSTAR manufactures SoCs that equip TV sets
and computer screens, and it seems that all of their products use the
same in-system programming protocol. Basically, they use the DDC channel
of VGA or DVI connectors, which is actually an I2C bus, to encapsulate
SPI frames (the flash chip is connected to the SoC through an SPI bus).
I wrote this patch since the screen I bought had a software bug, and the
manufacturer only released a new firmware binary, but no tool or
instructions on flashing it.
More details can be found here:

I only read code from Linux kernel archives published by Acer to figure
out the protocol (for a touchscreen controller and an NFC chip, both by
MSTAR, that share the same ISP protocol), so I don't think there are
any legal problems with it.
Compilation is currently disabled by default in the Makefile.
If in doubt, additional Makefile bugs were added by Stefan.
