Make use of iucv_alloc_device() to get rid of quite some code. In addition this also removes a cast to an incompatible function (clang W=1): drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c:746:18: error: cast from 'void (*)(const void *)' to 'void (*)(struct device *)' converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict] 746 | dev->release = (void (*)(struct device *))kfree; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240417-s390-drivers-fix-cast-function-type-v1-1-fd048c9903b0@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c | 20 +++----------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c b/drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c index d7e408c8d0b8..c09e1e09fb66 100644 --- a/drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c +++ b/drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c @@ -728,23 +728,9 @@ static int vmlogrdr_register_device(struct vmlogrdr_priv_t *priv) struct device *dev; int ret; - dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct device), GFP_KERNEL); - if (dev) { - dev_set_name(dev, "%s", priv->internal_name); - dev->bus = &iucv_bus; - dev->parent = iucv_root; - dev->driver = &vmlogrdr_driver; - dev->groups = vmlogrdr_attr_groups; - dev_set_drvdata(dev, priv); - /* - * The release function could be called after the - * module has been unloaded.
