The patch titled Subject: drivers/video/backlight/88pm860x_bl.c: drop devm_kfree of devm_kzalloc'd data has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-video-backlight-88pm860x_blc-drop-devm_kfree-of-devm_kzallocd-data.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jingoo Han <jg1.han@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: drivers/video/backlight/88pm860x_bl.c: drop devm_kfree of devm_kzalloc'd data devm_kfree() allocates memory that is released when a driver detaches. Thus, there is no reason to explicitly call devm_kfree() in probe or remove functions.
