[PATCH] powerpc: Introduce the use of the managed version of kzalloc

From: Himangi Saraogi
Date: Mon May 26 2014 - 16:21:44 EST


This patch moves data allocated using kzalloc to managed data allocated
using devm_kzalloc and cleans now unnecessary kfree in probe function.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change:

@platform@
identifier p, probefn, removefn;
@@
struct platform_driver p = {
.probe = probefn,
.remove = removefn,
};

@prb@
identifier platform.probefn, pdev;
expression e, e1, e2;
@@
probefn(struct platform_device *pdev, ...) {
<+...
- e = kzalloc(e1, e2)
+ e = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, e1, e2)
...
?-kfree(e);
...+>
}
