From 9dabaf5eddbafa21aded7c063cb38d2e8936c237 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grygorii Strashko Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:19:00 +0100 Subject: iio: core: implement devm_iio_device_alloc/devm_iio_device_free Add a resource managed devm_iio_device_alloc()/devm_iio_device_free() to automatically clean up any allocations made by IIO drivers, thus leading to simplified IIO drivers code. In addition, this will allow IIO drivers to use other devm_*() API (like devm_request_irq) and don't care about the race between iio_device_free() and the release of resources by Device core during driver removing.
