Hi Umang,

The two resources, 'mgmt' and 'platform_state' are currently allocated
dynamically using kzalloc(). Unfortunately, both are subject to memory
leaks in the error handling paths of the probe() function.
To address this issue, use device resource management helper devm_kzalloc()
for proper cleanup during allocation.

From my understand this leak has been there from the beginning and
platform_state is never freed. So I think this patch should be splitted,
because the Fixes applies only to the rest of the patch.
