Yes. Because it seems that this kfree is freeing some other data which
is not related to devm_kzalloc. I was not sure about removing it.
So, I was about to discuss it in a separate thread. Also, in the remove function
we have devm_free_irq. I am unsure it too. Because normally remove functions
do not use devm counterparts.
