Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mfd: cros_ec: Use devm_kzalloc for private data"
Date: Tue,  4 Dec 2018 16:58:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181204155843.11411-1-enric.balletbo@collabora.com> (raw)

This reverts commit 3aa2177e47878f7e7616da8a2050c44f22301b6e.

That commit triggered a new WARN when unloading the module (see at the
end of the commit message). When a class_dev is embedded in a structure
then that class_dev is the thing that controls the lifetime of that
structure, for that reason device managed allocations can't be used here.
See Documentation/kobject.txt.

Revert the above patch, so the struct is allocated using kzalloc and we
have a release function for it that frees the allocated memory, otherwise
it is broken.

 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 Device 'cros_ec' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
