hidma_ll_init() allocates a handoff FIFO, but the matching hidma_ll_uninit() function (which is invoked in remove()) never releases it, leaking memory.
To fix this call kfifo_free in hidma_ll_uninit().

Is it possible that the handoff_fifo is freed, then we could observe reset complete interrupts before they are being cleared in hidma_ll_uninit later on, which would lead to the following call chain
hidma_ll_inthandler - hidma_ll_int_handler_internal - hidma_handle_tre_completion - hidma_post_completed - tasklet_schedule(&lldev->task); - hidma_ll_tre_complete - kfifo_out
?

According to the documentation, the way to guarantee this from not happening
is to call tasklet_disable() to ensure that tasklet completes execution. Only after that
data structures used by the tasklet can be freed.
I think proper order is:
1. tasklet_disable
2. tasklet_kill
3. kfifo_free
