The device release callback function invoked to release the matrix device
uses the dev_get_drvdata(device *dev) function to retrieve the
pointer to the vfio_matrix_dev object in order to free its storage. The
problem is, this object is not stored as drvdata with the device; since the
kfree function will accept a NULL pointer, the memory for the
vfio_matrix_dev object is never freed.

Since the device being released is contained within the vfio_matrix_dev
object, the container_of macro will be used to retrieve its pointer.

Could you keep this code more readable, including adding the missing
blank line after the declaration, please? Something like:

static void vfio_ap_matrix_dev_release(struct device *dev)
{
	struct ap_matrix_dev *matrix_dev;

	matrix_dev = container_of(dev, struct ap_matrix_dev, device);
	kfree(matrix_dev);
}

Thanks!


Will do.
