SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 06/15] platform: goldfish: pipe: Move memory allocation from probe to init
> You should only allocate memory at probe time

probe does not know what memory to allocate. We have several versions
of the driver (with different init) and different versions allocate
different state.

init will have to rollback what it allocated.
