Julia,

Thanks for the cleanup on this driver. Perhaps I could suggest just one
additional thing.

There are only two paths which lead to failed_free_cmap. Moving

...
fbi->contrast = 0x80;
ret = wm8505fb_set_par(&fbi->fb);
if (ret) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to set parameters\n");
goto failed_free_cmap;
}
...

above the following line removes the need to have the failed_free_cmap
path at all.

...
if (fb_alloc_cmap(&fbi->fb.cmap, 256, 0) < 0) {
...



If that is done, only this code leads to the failed_free_cmap path:
...
ret = register_framebuffer(&fbi->fb);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev,
"Failed to register framebuffer device: %d\n", ret);
goto failed_free_cmap;
}
...


Rather than the goto, add the fail path code in directly, and return.


ret = register_framebuffer(&fbi->fb);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev,
"Failed to register framebuffer device: %d\n", ret);
if (fbi->fb.cmap.len)
fb_dealloc_cmap(&fbi->fb.cmap);
return ret;
}

Now there is no need for any goto commands, and all the rest can be
replaced with 'return ret' or equiv.

Tony P
