So why is this buggy patch now merged in the mainline kernel?

I guess Chris took it because you said it was fine?

Err, no.  If you re-read the thread, you'll see that I said your
subsequent patch posted on Thu, 03 May 2012 16:30:48 +0100 with
the devm_kzalloc() was fine.

The one which was merged is the one without the devm_kzalloc() which
is _not_ fine, because it's an oops waiting to happen - the one I
replied yesterday to without the devm_kzalloc().
