Hi

Excuse my late reply.


1) A fix of the original error I made in my original patch.
But it was completely different from this solution, you have trouble
seeing it as something reasonable to do.

My original patch:

eclk:
kfree(i2c);
emalloc:
- release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res));
+ if(res)
+ release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res));
return ret;
}

2) Wolfram Sang helped me with a patch example from commit 9b2b98a3b4de
It hade this code below. I thought that it seem a little strange, but
I trust Wolfram.

- dev->virtbase = ioremap(adev->res.start, resource_size(&adev->res));
- if (!dev->virtbase) {
+ dev->virtbase = devm_ioremap(&adev->dev, adev->res.start,
+ resource_size(&adev->res));
+ if (IS_ERR(dev->virtbase)) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
- goto err_no_ioremap;
+ goto err_no_mem;
}


Kind regards
