Hi Hans,

Thanks for your review! I'll address the other comments you made.

devm_kzalloc is not recommended: all devm_ memory is freed when the driver
is unbound, but a filehandle might still have a reference open.
How would a !devm variant with a kfree in the remove help? We would
still fall in the same case, right?

Thanks!
Maxime
