Not sure if SZ_4K is a good idea for the _OFFSET, the _SIZE is fine. Also why
do we need two? If the devices are of the same size, we don't need to have a
separate offset.

Why devm_kzalloc() can't be used? I don't see if the device lifetime is anyhow
different to this object. Am I wrong?

Hmm... Is it okay to use double underscored variant? Only a single driver uses
this so far... Care to elaborate?

Right...

...and this is a double free, correct?
