VideoPortFreeCommonBuffer function (video.h)

The VideoPortFreeCommonBuffer function is obsolete and is supported only for backward compatibility with existing drivers. In its place, driver writers should use VideoPortReleaseCommonBuffer.

VideoPortFreeCommonBuffer deallocates system memory that was allocated by a call to VideoPortGetCommonBuffer.
