Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: orion_nand: Improve error handling in orion_nand_probe

This patch fixes some issues in the error handling and simplifies
the code by converting to devm* functions.

If the kzalloc call fails it is unnecessary to use the label no_res
and pass a NULL pointer to kfree. If the devm_kzalloc call fails on
line 110 we forget to call iounmap for the previous ioremap call.

The following changes are introduced:
- Convert to devm_kzalloc and remove calls to kfree.
- Convert to devm_ioremap_resource that adds a missing call to
*request_mem_region and remove calls to iounmap.
- The devm_ioremap_resource function checks the passed resource so
we can remove the NULL check after the platform_get_resource call.

You don't need to remove this error message.
You would replace 'printk(KERN_ERR "orion_nand:...)' with
'dev_err(&pdev->dev,)'.

dev_err("failed to allocate device structure.\n");

Yes, this error message is not necessary.
devm_ioremap_resource() provides its own error messages; so all
explicit error messages can be removed from the failure code paths.

How about using devm_ioremap() instead of devm_ioremap_resource()?

Only ioremap() was used previously; however, devm_ioremap_resource()
internally calls both devm_request_mem_region() and devm_ioremap().

If it is wrong, please let me know kindly. :)

As above mentioned, you don't need to remove this error message.
You would replace 'printk(KERN_ERR "orion_nand:...)' with
'dev_err(&pdev->dev,)'.

dev_err("failed to allocate board structure.\n");

Hello Jingoo,

Thank you for the review. There was another discussion and the following
patch was sent that converts printk to dev_err.

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-June/047198.html

My conclusion of the discussion was that error messages for kzalloc
calls are probably made out of habit and that it's better to rely on
the internal error messages of kzalloc.

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-June/047203.html

So instead of sending a second version that applies on top of the
"convert printk to dev_*" patch, I decided to remove the error
messages for the kzalloc calls.

About the introduced call to devm_request_mem_region that is made
inside of devm_ioremap_resource. My understanding is that
request_mem_region should be used for all memory mappen I/O to
inform the kernel of the I/O adress range that will be used by
the driver.

There are other examples in drivers/mtd/nand of devm_ioremap_resource
beeing used in probe functions.

Here are some of them:
drivers/mtd/nand/lpc32xx_slc.c
drivers/mtd/nand/fsmc_nand.c
drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c

Best regards,

Emil
