[PATCH 01/10] platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: bind life-time of toshiba_acpi_dev to parent

From: Alexandru Ardelean
Date: Wed Mar 24 2021 - 08:57:06 EST


The 'toshiba_acpi_dev' object is allocated first and free'd last. We can
bind it's life-time to the parent ACPI device object. This is a first step
in using more device-managed allocated functions for this.

The main intent is to try to convert the IIO framework to export only
device-managed functions (i.e. devm_iio_device_alloc() and
devm_iio_device_register()). It's still not 100% sure that this is
possible, but for now, this is the process of taking it slowly in that
direction.
