In general it is a better to initialize an object before making it
accessible externally (through device_register).

This makes it possible to avoid relying on locking a partially
initialized object.

Hi Leonard,

I copied and pasted my comments as following:
because you send new v8 version without waiting any reply.
In my case, I don't prefer to remove 'devm_' feature.

v7's comment.
I'm not sure that it is necessary. Because, mainline kernel
provides the resource-managed feature with 'devm_*'
in order to reduce the memory leak by user.

It's like going back to a time when 'devm_*' feature wasn't there.
I think just it depends on the coding style of author.

I leave the final decision of this patch to Myungjoo.

Do you object to the general idea of devm_* for device drivers?
or did you find a bug in the memory handling in the code?

The result of this commit still relies on locking anyway.


Cheers,
MyungJoo.

This is a dependency of the following patch which removes the locking. I 
will add this to the commit message because everybody asks.

This patch removes devm because devm itself is only available after 
device_initialize. Moving the allocation ahead of device_register (which 
calls device_initialize) requires switching to manual memory management. 
Since there are only two pointers it seemed reasonable.

Alternatively device_register could be split into explicit 
"device_initialize" and "device_add" steps and devm could be used 
between those steps.

Before:
  - device_register
  - devm-based-alloc

After:
  + device_initialize
  + devm-based-alloc
  + device_add

Does this make sense?
