The function at91_dt_node_to_map is ultimately called by the function
pinctrl_get, which is an exported function.  Since it is possible that this
function is not called from within a probe function, for safety, the kfree
is converted to a devm_kfree, to both free the data and remove it from the
device in a failure situation.

A newline is added in the call to devm_kfree to avoid exceeding the 80
   devm_kzalloc() you mean?
Yes, sorry.  Should I send a new patch?
   Up to the maintainer I guess...
thanks,
