We allocate memory for LVDS modes while parsing the VBT at startup, but
never free this memory when the driver is unloaded, causing a small
leak.

We could probably use devm_*alloc functions for this kind of stuff more.

Pushed to drm-intel-next-queued, thanks for the patch.

The problem with devm_* is that the lifetime of the underlying hw device
doesn't stricltly match the lifetime of the drm device. Not that anything
in drm gets that right (pretty far from it), but that's why I haven't gone
ballastic yet with rolling out devm_* all over our init code.

Is it not enough that the lifetime of the driver is bounded by the
lifetime of the drm device? What is the problem you're referring to,
apart from handing the hardware devm allocated memory and unreferencing
the drm device?

I think you mean "ballistic", but, in this case, I think your typo
"ballastic" is actually a more accurate description of the change. :)

For udl if you unplug the physical device the struct device _will_ go
away.

The drm_device otoh might be referenced by piles of other internal things
(like open file descriptors, shared dma-bufs and what else) and hence very
much must stick around. Of course we /should/ try to not call down into
lower-level hw handling code in that state. Which all very much doesn't
happen (at least in a race-free manner).

So the drm_device is not bounded by the lifetime of the underlying
physical device in full generality. Which is why we can't really do any
devm_* stuff in drm core.

Either way I think we should be ok with fully abusing devm_* ;-)
