But its freed anyway on error. I just felt that extra LOC could be
removed. Ideally we should do something like
mem = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
io_base = devm_ioremap_resource(dev, mem);
if (IS_ERR(io_base))
return PTR_ERR(io_base);
timer = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct omap_dm_timer), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!timer) {
...
}
timer->io_base = io_base;
That combines the platform_get_resource and devm_ioremap_resource error
paths into 1 path and avoids redundant checks.. I can do it this way, or
if you want drop the patch entirely, I'm OK with it both ways..
thanks,
