Ah, I overlooked that. Thanks. In that case, you still have to do something like this patch, and devm_kzalloc() can be left for another day (or not done at all). > > > > I don't mind one solution over the other too much.

I wouldn't say "most." An unscientific survey seemed to show some variation, with no clear pattern. > static int au1550nd_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) > { > struct au1550nd_platdata *pd; > struct au1550nd_ctx *ctx; > struct nand_chip *this; > struct resource *r; > int ret, cs; > > pd = dev_get_platdata(&pdev->dev); > if (!pd) { > dev_err(&pdev->dev, "missing platform data\n"); > return -ENODEV; > } > > ctx = kzalloc(sizeof(*ctx), GFP_KERNEL); > if (!ctx) { > dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no memory for NAND context\n"); > return -ENOMEM; > } > > + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, ctx); > + Yes, that looks better to me.
