Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/6] drivers/mfd: drop frees of devm allocated data

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

devm_kfree should not have to be explicitly used.
devm_regmap_init_i2c also does not require an explicit free.

The semantic patch that fixes the first problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,d;
@@

x = devm_kzalloc(...)
...
?-devm_kfree(d,x);
// </smpl>
