In general it is not a good idea to use devm_*alloc. The problem is that if a
device instance is forcibly unbound, then all the memory allocated with devm_
is immediately freed. But if an application still has a file handle to a device
open, then it can still use that memory.

Now in this case the driver is already using devm_kcalloc, so it doesn't matter,
but it is something to keep in mind. In general, hotpluggable devices cannot use
devm_*alloc.

In general, my recommendation is to not use devm_*alloc for this, but since it
is already in use in this driver, it's better to use devm_*alloc consistently.
Or, alternatively, not use it all. That's up to Robert.

This is just as background information.
