No, because unlike dccsblk the axon_ram driver actually adheres to the device model, so it will be auto-freed on failed probe. The dcssblk implementation is not a proper "driver" so we don't get the devres_release_all() until the device is unregistered. That causes the "resource" object to stick around longer than necessary unless we force devm_kfree() it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
