The use of devm_*() functions works properly for when the device
structure itself is dynamic, but the hsmp driver is attempting to have a
local, static, struct device and then calls devm_() functions attaching
memory to the device that will never be freed.
The logic of having a static struct device is almost never a wise
choice, but for now, just remove the use of devm_device_add_groups() in
this driver as it obviously is not needed.
Hi Greg,
Could you please hold on merging this patch for a week? I will push a
patch for converting platform specific structure's memory allocation
from static to a dynamic
allocation.

Thanks Greg for bringing this up. I've added Suma who has some patches
which change code around this area.
Thanks Ilpo for adding me. I will push patch to address above issue on
top of "Add ACPI probing support for HSMP" patch series.
