SubjectRe: [PATCH] clocksource: cadence_ttc: fix memory leak in ttc_setup_clockevent
From
Date

Hi Yue,

I appreciate the fix but usually we add a rollback for all the
operations done in the init function.

Please, migrate the init function to the timer-of API, so the rollback
will be automatically handled.

Example here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/clocksource/timer-sprd.c#n197
