A struct device can never be devm_alloc()'ed.
Here, it is embedded in "struct fsi_master", and "struct fsi_master" is
embedded in "struct fsi_master_aspeed".

Since "struct device" is embedded, the data structure embedding it must be
released with the release function, as is already done here.

So use kzalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc() when allocating "aspeed" and
update all error handling branches accordingly.

This prevent a potential double free().

This also fix another issue if opb_readl() fails. Instead of a direct
return, it now jumps in the error handling path.

v2: Keep the release function which is correct
    s/devm_kzalloc()/kzalloc()/ instead

v3: Update the error handling path to free "aspeed" [Guenter Roeck]
    Fix another issue when opb_readl() fails [Guenter Roeck]

I hope that fixing both issues in the same patch is ok. It makes no sense
to me not to update the goto to the correct label if opb_readl() fails.

Hi Christophe,

Thanks for the patch.

This looks like a problem with the design of the fsi master structure.
It's a common pattern to devm_alloc the platform devices as they are
probed, the fsi masters all embed a copy of struct fsi_master, which
as you say embeds struct device.

Can we learn from other bus drivers (eg i2c?) how we should lay out
these structures?

Hi,
I won't do it myself.

This goes beyond my knowledge and without the possibility to test it, it 
would be just some random trial and error (as I did in the first broken 
version of this patch).
