Re: [PATCH] usb: gadget: udc: add return value check of kzalloc in mv_udc_probe

[Kang Chen]

Hi, Dongliang,

I totally agree with you. I checked the other drivers using
status_req->req.buf structure, they free the memory when
the driver removed. But in this driver, I can't find such code. So,
as you said, it needs a devm_kazlloc instead of a kzalloc to manage
the memory and avoid a memory leak.

Thanks for your correction. I will post a new patch later.
