In functions pxa2xx_build_functions, the memory allocated for
'functions' is live within the function only. After the
allocation it is immediately freed with devm_kfree. There is
no need to allocate memory for 'functions' with devm function
so replace devm_kcalloc  with kcalloc and devm_kfree with kfree.

AFAICS, this is allocating a mere 72 bytes. Why not just declare

	struct pxa_pinctrl_function functions[6] = {0};

locally and save *all* the bother?
Bah, ignore me, that was an incredible comprehension failure.

Sorry for the noise.

Robin.
