Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add devres_alloc() to allocation functions
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:43:04 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812024304.9350-1-phucduc.bui@gmail.com> (raw)
From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>
Add devres_alloc() to $allocFunctions so checkpatch.pl can detect
unnecessary out-of-memory messages following a failed allocation.
