The end-user side effect (educational and not run-time) is that: "One should really be careful about the scope of the devm_*() APIs and use of them just for the sake of the RAII replacement is not the best idea, while code is still working. Hence it gives a better example for whoever tries to use this code for educational purposes." -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
