For v3, this piece of code will be deleted anyway so it won't be a problem anymore. However, this logic is used in drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c[1][2] @Maxime, @Chen-Yu: We should check more thoroughly than what I did but I think Julia is right. The following is my understanding from a very quick look at the code. devm_kzalloc will register gpio->functions as a res of the device. However it's possible that the pointer is different after krealloc. In that case, krealloc will free the "old" gpio->functions[3] which is managed by devres. 1) We might be exposed to a free of a NULL pointer when devres takes care of unregistering the device. 2) The "new" gpio->functions would never be freed. Is that correct? If so, we should get rid of devm_kzalloc in favor of a simple kzalloc and free the pointer in the remove function of the driver.
