matrix_keyboard_of_fill_keymap() routines allocates memory using kzalloc() routine. It is freed on call to matrix_keyboard_of_free_keymap() routine. This patch converts these kzalloc() calls to devm_kzalloc() and thus we don't require matrix_keyboard_of_free_keymap() anymore. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <redacted>The Tegra-related parts, Acked-by: Stephen Warren <redacted> But that said, Dmitry specifically requested that the devm_* function not be used during initial review of this code; IIRC he preferred just doing the explicit frees.

Right, there is no need to haul allocated memory past the building of
the "real" keymap anyway.
Actually I want to change the interface so that we could do something
like:
if (pdata->keymap) {
matrix_keypad_build_keymap(...)
} else {
error = matrix_keypad_build_of_keymap();
if (error)
goto blah;
}
So that one could override OF data with plaform data if needed and no
freeing of intermediate platform-like keymap structure is requited.
Or maybe encapsulate OF parsing directly into matrix_keypad_build_keymap
if passed keymap data is NULL...
Thanks.
