Thank you for the explanation. You are right.

we will remove the mtk_dev_alloc/mtk_dev_free wrappers and use
devm_kzalloc directly from the beginning.

We will also remove all unnecessary devm_kfree() calls from probe
error paths and remove paths, keeping them only where resources
are freed and re-allocated at runtime (e.g., CLDMA queue lifecycle
during modem reset cycles).

Thanks.
