Use devm_kstrdup_const() in the pmc-atom driver. This mostly serves as
an example of how to use this new routine to shrink driver code.

While we're at it: replace a call to kcalloc() with devm_kcalloc().

I don't think this is a good example.

You changed a behaviour here in the way that you keep all chunks of memory
(even small enough for pointers) during entire life time of the driver, which
pretty likely would be forever till next boot.

In the original case the memory was freed immediately in probe either it fails
or returns with success.

NAK, sorry.

I see.

I'd like to still merge patches 1-3 and then I'd come up with better
examples for the next release cycle once these are in?

I'm fine with first three, though I can't come up with better example for you
now. My previous comment solely to clk-pmc-atom code.
