Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 3/4] i2c: designware: Use the correct name of
 device-managed function

Hi Dejin,

Thank you for all the changes, looks good!

You could improve the subject line, as it is very vague - what is the
new function name more correct?  Was the other and/or the previous one
not correct?  Seems like you are correcting a typo of sorts, rather than
introducing a new function in this file.

The commit is good, but it could use some polish, so to speak.

A few suggestions to think about:

  - What are we adding and/or changing, and why
  - Why is using pcim_alloc_irq_vectors(), which is part
    of the managed devices framework, a better alternative
    to the pci_alloc_irq_vectors()
  - And finally why this change allowed us to remove the
    pci_free_irq_vectors()

The change simplifies the error handling path, how?  A line of two which
explains how it has been achieved might help should someone reads the
commit message in the future.

If pcim_release() is called should the pci_driver's probe callback fail,
and I assume that this is precisely the case, then all of the above make
sense in the view of using pcim_alloc_irq_vectors().
