Right but just to be extra cautious. Do you really want this to be dropped ?

Right, will add an WARN_ON().

Okay, will drop arm_ here. IIRC this was originally trbeX where X is the cpu number
but then ended up using DRVNAME as prefix.

Okay, will change accordingly.

Okay, will move them before the cleanup.

Sure, will change the return code as -ENOMEM when alloc_percpu() returns NULL.

Okay, will change.

Okay, will do.
