Good point, but there is no need to check, the genpool is not optional
and the "if (ctrl->genpool)" condition could be deleted from the remove
function as well.

err_put_device:
	platform_device_put(svc->stratix10_svc_rsu);
err_free_kfifo:
	kfifo_free(&controller->svc_fifo);
err_destroy_pool:
	gen_pool_destroy(genpool);

	return ret;

But the other question is what's on with the &svc_ctrl list?  I would
have thought that we needed to remove freed controller from the list as
well, but looking at it now I think the list itself should be removed.
I think there can only be one item in the list at a time.  So we could
just make the controller pointer a file scope global or we could find
some other way to go from the client pointer to the controller pointer.
