Hi Rob,

I started using devm_kcalloc() but at least two reviewers convinced me
to just use kcalloc().  In addition, when I was using devm_kcalloc()
it was awkward because 'dev' is not available to this function.

It comes down to whether unbind/binding the device N times is actually
a reasonable usage.  As for my experience I've seen two cases: (1) my
overnight "bind/unbind the PCIe RC driver" script, and we have a
customer who does an unbind/bind as a hail mary to bring back life to
their dead EP device.  If the latter case happens repeatedly, there
are bigger problems.

I don't believe the code here attempts to free the dma_range_map or
needs to.  Assuming that we devm_kcalloc'd() the dev->dma_range_map --
which we are not currently doing -- my reasoning is that this device
does not need to free anything since the dev->dma_range_map belongs to
a device higher up in the bus hierarchy, and the lower device will be
removed long before the higher device is removed and
dev->dma_range_map goes away.

Jim
