Re: [PATCH] regulator: gpio-regulator: use devm_*

["Heiko Stübner" <heiko@sntech.de>]

Hi Rob,

this is racy.

The deallocation of devm_* stuff is done _after_ the driver _remove callback 
ran, where in the gpio_regulator case it would already have done at least

>  	gpio_free_array(drvdata->gpios, drvdata->nr_gpios);
> 
>  	kfree(drvdata->states);

before the regulator gets deregistered, thus producing a race condition.


Also Mark's mail address is
	Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
and
	linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
should be included as well.
