[PATCH] drivers: mfd: tps65912: Convert to use devm_kzalloc

[Leon Romanovsky]

There is no need to call kfree while using devm_kzalloc,
remove it from *_device_init function.

To be honest the whole tps65912 looks strange to me.
For example,  kfree(tps65912) calls all over the code.

tps65912_i2c_probe allocates tps65912 struct, but tps65912_device_exit
releases it.

Yes, this is expected.

tps65912_[spi|i2c]_remove() both call tps65912_device_exit() which in
turn frees tps65912. Saves duplicating code.

I'll clean thinks up a little, so this is less confusing.

On second thoughts, have you actually built this?

Can you make absolutely sure that you did please?

I mention it because I would expect lots of warnings if you did.

Something like:

drivers/mfd/tps65912-core.c: In function ‘tps65912_reg_write’:
drivers/mfd/tps65912-core.c:117:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘dev_err’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

                 from include/linux/mfd/core.h:17,
                 from drivers/mfd/tps65912-core.c:21:
include/linux/device.h:954:5: note: expected ‘const struct device *’ but argument is of type ‘struct device **’
drivers/mfd/tps65912-core.c: In function ‘tps65912_device_init’:

include/linux/device.h:574:14: note: expected ‘struct device *’ but argument is of type ‘struct device **’

Can you check and make sure, because there's some disparity
somewhere.

There is an obvious typo: no need of & here if I got it correctly.

You are absolutely right, I sent the wrong patch with typo :(

Lee,
Do I need to resend it ? Or you can fix it by yourself ?

I've already fixed it up and tested.

I just wanted to clarify exactly what happened, as it couldn't have
been tested.

No worries, patch applied.
