Hi Horman-san,

Thank you for taking a look at this patch.

> Is that safe here?

Yes, it is safe. The failure of kfifo_alloc(&test->up_fifo,
CA8210_TEST_INT_FIFO_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL) sets test->up_fifo.data to NULL,
and kfifo_free() will then do kfree(test->up_fifo.data) with some minor
clean-up.

> And in branches to error above this point?

Are you referring to the error handling for ieee802154_alloc_hw()? To my
understanding, since spi_get_drvdata() in ca8210_remove() returns NULL
if there's an error, we shouldn’t need to call
ca8210_test_interface_clear(). However, I’m not familiar with this code,
so please correct me if I'm mistaken.

best,
Keisuke
