It is my understanding that since glue is allocated with devm_kzalloc(), that if the probe function returns and error, glue and everything else allocated with devm_* will be automatically freed. If this is not the case, wouldn't devm_kfree() be the appropriate function instead?

I disagree. Since these are now automatically freed because of changes in the probe function, these changes belong in the same patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
