| |
Hi all,
During review of new SPI drivers I tried to understand connection between comment "calling spi_master_put() and kfree() to prevent a memory leak" for spi_alloc_master() in spi.c and why no driver calls kfree() on error path. Looks like Uwe added this comment and later I found patch from Guenter that reverted this comment but spi-imx.c was not fixed for that time. Later in 2013 spi-imx was fixed. Is it correct time right now to fix comment?
I tried to save authorship of patch from Guenter, added field "From" and kept signed-off-by and cc. I hope i did it correctly in patch (sorry for possible inconvenience). Also marked it as RESEND since it's resend of original patch from 2012 year.
Best regards, Alexey Klimov
