Indeed, from a glance at the code, it does not look like it is a good idea.
For v3, this piece of code will be deleted anyway so it won't be a
problem anymore.
However, this logic is used in drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c[1][2]
@Maxime, @Chen-Yu:
We should check more thoroughly than what I did but I think Julia is right.
The following is my understanding from a very quick look at the code.
devm_kzalloc will register gpio->functions as a res of the device.
However it's possible that the pointer is different after krealloc. In
that case, krealloc will free the "old" gpio->functions[3] which is
managed by devres.
1) We might be exposed to a free of a NULL pointer when devres takes
care of unregistering the device.
2) The "new" gpio->functions would never be freed.
Is that correct? If so, we should get rid of devm_kzalloc in favor of a
simple kzalloc and free the pointer in the remove function of the driver.
