The various devm_ functions allocate memory that is released when a driver
detaches. This patch uses these functions for data that is allocated in
the probe function of a platform device and is only freed in the remove
function.
The patch makes some other cleanups. First, the original code used
devm_kzalloc, but kfree. This would lead to a double free. The problem
was found using the following semantic match (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):
// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
@@
x = devm_kzalloc(...)
... when != x = e
?-kfree(x,...);
// </smpl>
The error-handling code for the call to dma_alloc_coherent is copied to the
end of the function, like the other error-handling code. Given the
introduction of the devm functions, this is just for uniformity, because
the label at the end of the function now just returns the error code.
A semicolon is removed at the end of this error handling code.
The call platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); is moved up under the label
failed_free_cmap, because platform_set_drvdata(pdev, fbi); doesn't happen
in the function until after gotos to this label are reached.
The initializations of fbi and ret are not necessary and are removed.

Julia,
Thanks for the cleanup on this driver. Perhaps I could suggest just one
additional thing.
There are only two paths which lead to failed_free_cmap. Moving
...
fbi->contrast = 0x80;
ret = wm8505fb_set_par(&fbi->fb);
if (ret) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to set parameters\n");
goto failed_free_cmap;
}
...
above the following line removes the need to have the failed_free_cmap
path at all.
...
if (fb_alloc_cmap(&fbi->fb.cmap, 256, 0) < 0) {
...
If that is done, only this code leads to the failed_free_cmap path:
...
ret = register_framebuffer(&fbi->fb);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev,
"Failed to register framebuffer device: %d\n", ret);
goto failed_free_cmap;
}
...
Rather than the goto, add the fail path code in directly, and return.
ret = register_framebuffer(&fbi->fb);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev,
"Failed to register framebuffer device: %d\n", ret);
if (fbi->fb.cmap.len)
fb_dealloc_cmap(&fbi->fb.cmap);
return ret;
}
Now there is no need for any goto commands, and all the rest can be
replaced with 'return ret' or equiv.
Regards
Tony P

So there is no need for the platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); ?
Also, do you know if it is correct that the original code does not include
a call to dma_free_coherent?
thanks,
julia

Unless there is some kind of reference counting, I can't see any reason
for this.

No, that is not correct - there definitely should be a
dma_free_coherent, both in the fail path and in the remove(). Appears
they are both missing.

The various devm_ functions allocate memory that is released when a driver
detaches. This patch uses these functions for data that is allocated in
the probe function of a platform device and is only freed in the remove
function.
The patch makes some other cleanups. First, the original code used
devm_kzalloc, but kfree. This would lead to a double free. The problem
was found using the following semantic match (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):
// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
@@
x = devm_kzalloc(...)
... when != x = e
?-kfree(x,...);
// </smpl>
The error-handing code of devm_request_and_ioremap does not print any
warning message, because devm_request_and_ioremap does this.
The call to dma_alloc_coherent is converted to its devm equivalent,
dmam_alloc_coherent. This implicitly introduces a call to
dmam_free_coherent, which was completly missing in the original code.
A semicolon is removed at the end of the error-handling code for the call
to dma_alloc_coherent.
The block of code calling fb_alloc_cmap is moved below the block of code
calling wm8505fb_set_par, so that the error-handing code of the call to
wm8505fb_set_par can just return ret. This way there is only one block of
error-handling code that needs to call fb_dealloc_cmap, and so this is
moved up to the place where it is needed, eliminating the need for all
gotos and labels in the function. This was suggested by Tony Prisk.
The initializations of fbi and ret at the beginning of the function are not
necessary and are removed. The call platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); at
the end of the function is also removed.
