Right, so I guess it's not actually very complicated:

ret = devm_add_action_or_reset(&chip->dev, kvfree, &log->bios_event_log)
if (ret) {
	log->bios_event_log = NULL;
	return ret;
}

Had not used this API since we used it in tpmm_chip_alloc(). I'll tweak
the patch accordingly...

And since 2/2 becomes a feature patch I'll refine it to do a traverse of
the log so we know the actual size of the populated contents and then
move back on using devm_kmalloc() in that patch (i.e. it will render
out also the fix that the first patch makes).

Not too bad, I can live this.
