A struct device can never be devm_alloc()'ed. Here, it is embedded in "struct fsi_master", and "struct fsi_master" is embedded in "struct fsi_master_aspeed". Since "struct device" is embedded, the data structure embedding it must be released with the release function, as is already done here. So use kzalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc() when allocating "aspeed". This prevent a potential double free().
