We only normally use it to free.
You're right, the "s2mps11->rdev" is not needed at all. > > > + rdata = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*rdata)*rdev_num, GFP_KERNEL); > > + if (!rdata) > > + return -ENOMEM; > > + > > > + /* rdata was needed only for of_regulator_match() during probe */ > > + if (rdata) > > + devm_kfree(&pdev->dev, rdata); > > + > > If this is always going to be freed within the probe path (in the same > function indeed) why is it a managed allocaton at all? Actually no good reason, simplifies a little the return statements on error conditions. I'll use kzalloc() and kfree().
