[PATCH 4/4] drivers/video/backlight/adp5520_bl.c: use devm_ functions

From: Julia Lawall <hidden>
Date: 2012-01-20 21:26:38
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: adp5520 backlight driver with io expander (adp5520/adp5501), backlight class/subsystem, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Michael Hennerich, Lee Jones, Daniel Thompson, Jingoo Han, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

From: Julia Lawall <redacted>

The various devm_ functions allocate memory that is released when a driver
detaches.  This patch uses these functions for data that is allocated in
the probe function of a platform device and is only freed in the remove
function.
