jack should be freed too.

if (!jack->id) {
kfree(jack);
return -ENOMEM;
}

kstrdup() can return NULL, it is better to check the return value of it.
Fix: free jack and use my full name.

Thanks, applied now with Cc-to-stable.

BTW, when you submit a revised patch, please put 'v2' or such to the
patch subject prefix, e.g.
[PATCH v2] ALSA: jack: ...

Also you can put the note about the changes between revisions as

v1->v2: Fix something more....

and this could be put after the first '---' line (around the diffstat)
if it's not necessarily to be included in the final commit log.
