The various devm_ functions allocate memory that is released when a driver
detaches. This patch uses these functions for data that is allocated in
the probe function of a platform device and is only freed in the remove
function.

Why do you remove this return check?
If there is no reason, please, do it as follows:
res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
if (!res) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get registers\n");
- ret = -EINVAL;
- goto err_clock;
+ return -EINVAL;
}
devm_request_and_ioremap function checks the validity of res. Hence
this check above is redundant and can be removed.
I don't think so.
Even though function called next checks the NULL value,
for robustness, the return value of platform_get_resource() should be
checked.
It is possible that devm_request_and_ioremap() can be changed in the future,
as request_mem_region() & ioremap() were changed to devm_request_and_ioremap().
They are not changed. They still exist. devm_request_and_ioremap() is
an additional function provided for device managed resources.
OK, I see. I accept it.
Anyway it is simpler.
