[PATCH 4/4] drivers/mtd/nand/mpc5121_nfc.c: some devm_ cleanups

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

devm free functions should not have to be explicitly used.

The only thing left that is useful in the function mpc5121_nfc_free is the
call to clk_disable, which is moved to the call sites.

This function also incorrectly called iounmap on devm_ioremap allocated
data.

Use devm_request_and_ioremap in place of devm_request_mem_region and
devm_ioremap.

Use devm_clk_get.

Aiaiai! :-) [1] [2]

I've build-tested this using aiaiai and it reports that this change breaks the build:

Tested the patch(es) on top of the following commits:

I do not really know why, but it seems that clock framework is not supported for powerpc. CCing the PPC mailing list. Preserved the context below for the PPC people.

So, not taking this patch.

I've been bitten by the same issue recently, also cause by one of these
cocci devm patches. devm_clk_get is only available if the generic
clk_get/clk_put implementation is used. Not all architectures do this and
some implement their own clk_get/clk_put, etc functions. Since devm_clk_get
is merely a wrapper around clk_get/clk_put there is no reason why it should
depend CLKDEV_LOOKUP. I've prepared a patch which makes them generically
available if the clk_get/clk_put are implemented (i.e. if HAVE_CLK is set),
but it is on a different machine right now, will try to submit it later today.

Sorry about this.  I wasn't aware that devm_clk_get wasn't supported by
all architectures, and I have no way of compiling code for these
architectures...  But I wonder why it is not, since devm-ness doesn't seem
to have anything to do with architecture-specific details?  It would be
really nice to have it for all architectures, because the clock functions
are just as (or at least almost as) common as kzalloc, ioremap, etc.

thanks,
julia

It looks like Lars is going to fix this.

I am personally fine if you send patches without build-testing them.
Your patches are generally of good quality and you send many of them, so
build-testing each would be too much for you. And at least for MTD, I
can build-test myself.

Applied, thanks.
