read the patch again, there's no kfree() on any device. There is a kfree
of supplies, reg_data and config.
On top of that, the code being changed here doesn't even exist, so I
wonder which tree is this code based off. usb-host.c has always being
using omap_device_build() which internally calls
platform_device_alloc().

How about we pass yours for not reading the patch before flaming ? Note
that $SUBJECT is *not* touching at all that line which kzallocs a
platform_device. Wrong as it is, it's not part of $SUBJECT.
