I was going to do 

-       pmic = kzalloc(sizeof(struct bd71837_pmic), GFP_KERNEL);
+       pmic = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(struct bd71837_pmic),
+                           GFP_KERNEL);

and

-               rdev = regulator_register(desc, &config);
+               rdev = devm_regulator_register(&pdev->dev, desc, &config);

but is there now a race regarding freeing the pmic structure and
unregistering the regulator?
