[PATCH 1/2] soc: versatile: Add missing kfree in error path

[Christophe JAILLET]

If 'of_property_read_string' fails, then 'soc_dev_attr' should be freed,
otherwise, there is a memory leak.

[PATCH 2/2] soc: versatile: Drop a useless static qualifier

[Christophe JAILLET]

There is no need to have the 'struct regmap *syscon_regmap' variable
static in the probe function.
It only wastes a few bytes of memory.

It feels like there should be a static analysis warning for this.

Sorry a copy-paste error ... used to have it as a global.

I think you should send this to arm@kernel.org for application
as a fixup to the ARM SoC tree. Include my Review tag.
