Subject: Q: free up of memory allocated with the devm_kzalloc if driver probe fails

Hi,


     manual page of devm_kzalloc says that "the memory allocated with
this function is freed automatically at driver detach".
     Say for example driver probe failed, will the memory be freed up?
as driver's remove callback will not be called since probe failed.

Thanks,
Devendra
