What code are you looking at?

I see this in the Mark's tree

int skl_platform_register(struct device *dev) {
ÂÂÂ int ret;
ÂÂÂ struct snd_soc_dai_driver *dais;
ÂÂÂ int num_dais = ARRAY_SIZE(skl_platform_dai);
ÂÂÂ struct hdac_bus *bus = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
ÂÂÂ struct skl *skl = bus_to_skl(bus);

ÂÂÂ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&skl->ppl_list);
ÂÂÂ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&skl->bind_list);

ÂÂÂ skl->dais = kmemdup(skl_platform_dai, sizeof(skl_platform_dai),
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ GFP_KERNEL);
ÂÂÂ if (!skl->dais) {
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ret = -ENOMEM;
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ goto err;
ÂÂÂ }

ÂÂÂ if (!skl->use_tplg_pcm) {
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ dais = krealloc(skl->dais, sizeof(skl_fe_dai) +
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ sizeof(skl_platform_dai), GFP_KERNEL);


No trace of devm as you mention it? I checked the Chrome tree as well and it's not there.

What am I missing?
