Russell King suggested that felix_vsc9959, seville_vsc9953 and ocelot_ext have a large portion of duplicated init and teardown code, which could be made common [1]. The teardown code could even be simplified away if we made use of devres, something which is used here and there in the felix driver, just not very consistently. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/Zh1GvcOTXqb7CpQt@shell.armlinux.org.uk/ Prepare the ground in the felix_vsc9959 driver, by allocating the data structures using devres and deleting the kfree() calls. This also deletes the "Failed to allocate ..." message, since memory allocation errors are extremely loud anyway, and it's hard to miss them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
