This will allocate 8192 bytes because of the way the allocator works.
It needs around 40 bytes for the devm stuff + 4096 requested. So
rounding rules will allocate 8192 bytes.
So either you could allocate "for free" much more space, or you could
allocate (and document...)
z2->rx_buf = devm_kzalloc(dev, 4096 - sizeof(struct devres),
GFP_KERNEL);
or have an explicit devm_add_action_or_reset() that would require less
memory, but would add some LoC.
or leave it as-is, of course ;-)
