If one of those things turns out to break something, we have to revert this whole thing. So please make this two different changes, one to change to use devm_kasprintf() and the second to change the naming scheme, ESPECIALLY as you do not mention the name change in the subject line. And that's going to be a user-visible change, so you need to make that VERY obvious. thanks, greg k-h
