Subject: [PATCH net-next] octeontx2-af: CGX: use kzalloc_flex for name
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:32:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313003240.123975-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

Don't bother allocating separately. There's no good reason to do so for
a small string like this.

Remove name kfrees as a result.
