The line ends before column 80. I'm not sure that the result of request_mem_region is the proper argment to give to release_region. In any case, all of the other calls to request_mem_region that do use release_region do not use the return value. They just test it directly as I have done here. julia > > dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot request IO\n"); > > ret = -ENXIO; > > goto err_clk; > > } > > > > + i2c->ioarea = res; > > i2c->regs = ioremap(res->start, resource_size(res)); > > > > if (i2c->regs == NULL) { > > @@ -645,8 +643,7 @@ static int __devinit nuc900_i2c_probe(struct > > platform_device *pdev) iounmap(i2c->regs); > > > > err_ioarea: > > - release_resource(i2c->ioarea); > > - kfree(i2c->ioarea); > > + release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); > > > > err_clk: > > clk_disable(i2c->clk); > > @@ -665,6 +662,7 @@ static int __devinit nuc900_i2c_probe(struct > > platform_device *pdev) static int __devexit nuc900_i2c_remove(struct > > platform_device *pdev) { > > struct nuc900_i2c *i2c = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); > > + struct resource *res = i2c->ioarea; > > No need for this ... > > > > i2c_del_adapter(&i2c->adap); > > free_irq(i2c->irq, i2c); > > @@ -674,8 +672,7 @@ static int __devexit nuc900_i2c_remove(struct > > platform_device *pdev) > > > > iounmap(i2c->regs); > > > > - release_resource(i2c->ioarea); > > - kfree(i2c->ioarea); > > ... the i2c pointer is still available here, why introducing struct resource > *res. release_mem_region() looks like a sane change to me though. > > > + release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); > > kfree(i2c); > > > > return 0; > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
