memory is allocated by devm_kzalloc, so release it using
devm_kfree() instead kfree();
You are correct that it should not be freed with kfree(). But the
correct solution is that it does not need to be freed (explicitly) at
all. That's the whole point of the managed allocators (i.e.,
devm_kzalloc()). Try this patch instead. Totally untested here.
Pushed to l2-mtd.git, thanks!
