And I told that time that most of the remarks around devm_ usage were wrong due to how the SCMI core handles protocol initialization (using a devres group transparently). This is what I answered that time. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/ZJ78hBcjAhiU+ZBO@e120937-lin/#t I wont repeat myself, but, in a nutshell the memory allocation like it is now is fine: a bit happens via devm_ at protocol initialization, the other is doe via explicit kmalloc at runtime and freed via kfree at remove time (if needed...i.e. checking the present flag of some structs) I'll made further remarks on v7 that you just posted. Thanks, Cristian
