Yes, It will not fixes any defect. But we are going to free allocate
memory then why we need devm api. In this case Devm will first add this
entry to list and immediately it will remove from list.

Hi Arvind,
In functions pxa2xx_build_functions, the memory allocated for
'functions' is live within the function only. After the
allocation it is immediately freed with devm_kfree. There is
no need to allocate memory for 'functions' with devm function
so replace devm_kcalloc with kcalloc and devm_kfree with kfree.
That's not very true : the "need" is to spare the "manual" kfree you're adding
in your patch for one, and make it consistent with pxa2xx_build_groups() and
pxa2xx_build_state() for two.
Therefore I'm not very thrilled by this patch and unless it fixes a defect in
the driver I'd rather not have it in.
Cheers.
