Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/2] Small devm helper for devm implementations

Hello,

Differences from v3 to v4
x Add a bunch of kerneldoc above devm_add() [Greg KH]
x Split patch in two [Greg KH]

Differences from v2 to v3
x Make devm_add() return an error-code rather than the raw data pointer
  (in case devres_alloc ever returns an ERR_PTR) as suggested by Geert
x Provide a variadic version devm_vadd() to work with structs as suggested
  by Geert
x Don't use nested ifs in clk_devm* implementations (hopefully simpler
  code logic to follow) as suggested by Geert

Marc Gonzalez (2):
  devres: Provide new helper for devm functions
  clk: Use devm_add in managed functions
