Got it. Will fix it.

Will do

I didn’t see kcalloc did it internally. I will remove it.

Removed.

I did see that there was previously a devm_krealloc_array implementation sent for the other Xilinx xadc driver.

If not, I will send a patch with devm_krealloc for now, and then I can send a patch later for devm_krealloc array and
Its usage for both Xilinx-ams and xadc driver as well.
