Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] kunit: avoid memory leak on device register error

Can a description variant (like the following) be more appropriate?

   Free the allocated memory (after a device registration failure)
   before returning.
   Thus add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better
   reused at the end of this function implementation.


Would you like to replace the word “register” by “registration” also
in the summary phrase?

I find it nicer to use a label like free_device.
