Because during review of your patch we happened to find another issue
a few lines up and down. Why not fix it on the way?

What I'd like is simply

[PATCH] Fix uio_pdrv_genirq issues

If you like, make it two patches, one with your memory-freeing issue
and one "Remove irq tracking" or something like that. That's just
three or four lines difference, I'd even accept it if it were only
one patch.

I don't want to fix one thing now and leave the other one unresolved.
That would just be a waste of time.

To be clear, I have no objections regarding your memory freeing ideas.

Thanks,
Hans
