[PATCH v3 04/10] staging: fsl-mc: don't use devres api for refcounted objects

From: laurentiu.tudor
Date: Tue Feb 07 2017 - 10:44:18 EST


From: Laurentiu Tudor <laurentiu.tudor@xxxxxxx>

Mixing two memory management systems, in this case
managed device resource api and refcounted objects
is a bad idea. Lifetime of an object is controlled
by its refcount so allocating it with other apis
that have their own lifetime control is not ok.
Drop devm_*() apis in favor of plain allocations.

v3:
- left only devm api removal and moved slab cache removal in its own patch
