Ahh, OK.  I didn't know that Joe worked on adding new Coccinelle script to
deal with the bitmap allocations and such.  I assumed you did some code
review and found some issues.

I had a quick look at what the Coccinelle script found, and it seems I have
missed when I did some search on my own:

  drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rcar-ep.c

As per the thread you linked to, I can see that neither the new Coccinelle
script nor the changes from Joe were accepted yet, or I couldn't see
anything yet (at least not in the PCI tree).

A lot more code to read, indeed.  However, the benefits are quite nice:
simpler code, easier error handling and reducing probability of leaking
memory.

I think, a lot of the drivers we have in our tree could (and a lot already
do) leverage the DECLARE_BITMAP() macro reserving space during build time
over dealing with memory allocations and such.

Thank you!
