[PATCH 1/2] i2c-s3c2410: Convert to devm_kzalloc()

[Mark Brown]

Saves remembering to call kfree(). There's some kfree()s used by the
resource still, these will be removed in 3.3 using the newly added
devm_request_and_ioremap().

[PATCH 2/2] i2c-s3c2410: Add stub runtime power management

[Mark Brown]

Add stub runtime_pm calls which go through the flow of enabling and
disabling but don't actually do anything with the device itself as
there's nothing useful we can do. This provides the core PM framework
with information about when the device is idle, enabling chip wide
power savings.

Just in case you are resending the patch for any other reason, it might be worth
to change to sizeof(*i2c) for consistency.

Consistency with...?

TBH I'd rather not change the coding style as well as presumably Ben
likes that the way it is.

Consistency with the rest of code in i2c-s3c244.c, all other occurrences
of sizeof take name of a variable, rather than its type.

> likes that the way it is.

If that's Ben's will then let it stay as it is. I don't even dare to propose
any change ;) It's rather a meaningless detail. I personally like more using 
variable's name, and I had a feeling it was preferred style in the kernel.

It's even mentioned in Documentation/CodingStyle:

"The kernel provides the following general purpose memory allocators:
kmalloc(), kzalloc(), kcalloc(), vmalloc(), and vzalloc().  Please refer to
the API documentation for further information about them.

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

	p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and
introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is changed
but the corresponding sizeof that is passed to a memory allocator is not."

I tend to use the variable myself, but when editing existing code I'm
going to stick with what's there.

The comment looks confusing as I am not sure what is meant here by state.
