Why does it depend on ARM64?

Where is dependency on ARCH_QCOM?

I miss the point why you are not using devm. You are introducing
ordering issues now, because sp is freed before other cleanups are done.

syntax is everywhere: ret = dev_err_probe

Since years already. Don't upstream your old downstream code, but write
something based on current Linux drivers.
