lvts_debugfs_init() is called with lvts_td->num_lvts_ctrl being 2, 3 or 4.
sizeof(struct debugfs_regset32) is small. 32 byres on a x86_64.

So, given the overhead of devm_kzalloc(), it is better to allocate all
needed regset at once.

The overhead of devm_kzalloc() is 40 bytes on a x86_64, and because of
rounding in memory allocation, it leads to:
 2 * (32 + 40) = 2 * 72	--> 2 96 bytes allocations for a total of 192 bytes
 3 * (32 + 40) = 3 * 72	--> 3 96 bytes allocations for a total of 288 bytes
 4 * (32 + 40) = 4 * 72	--> 4 96 bytes allocations for a total of 384 bytes

using a single devm_kcalloc():
 2 * 32 + 40 = 104	--> 1 allocation for a total of 128
 3 * 32 + 40 = 136	--> 1 allocation for a total of 192
 4 * 32 + 40 = 168	--> 1 allocation for a total of 192

So, this saves both a few bytes and reduce memory fragmentation.

I understand that this preserved the behavior from the original code,
but the original code was wrong.  This should return -ENOMEM.

The blank line should come after the declaration.

Hi Dan,
I don't agree.

For me, this memory allocation is of the same type as all debugfs 
functions that we ignore the error code.

If it fails, it is not a reason good enough to have the probe fail. 
(anyway, if we are short on memory at this point other errors will 
likely occur)

The blank line was already there, and in this file, it looks like the 
preferred style (even if not completely consistent)

Let see if there is some comment about 0 or -ENOMEM in case of memory 
allocation error, and if needed, I'll repost without the blank line.

This patch being a really tiny tiny tiny improvement (IMHO), so it may 
also just be ignored.

Huh.  It's an interesting point.  Fair enough.

There is supposed to be a blank line after declarations though so I
think if you re-run checkpatch.pl -f on the file there is a checkpatch
warning now.
