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