[PATCH] drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-at91.c: convert kfree to devm_kfree

From: Julia Lawall <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-12 14:22:48
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: pin control subsystem, pin controller - microchip at91, the rest · Maintainers: Linus Walleij, Ludovic Desroches, Linus Torvalds

From: Julia Lawall <redacted>

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.

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <redacted>

---
v2: Drop cleanup of the call to devm_kzalloc at the same time.
