I have found a memory leak in hd44780 and it becomes that we have no counterpart to charlcd_alloc() that developers can easily miss.
So, this series fixes a leak and introduces the charlcd_free(). In v2: - add new patch to convert to_priv() to charlcd_to_priv() - address Geert's comment what should be freed Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <ge...@linux-m68k.org> Andy Shevchenko (5): auxdisplay: hd44780: Fix memory leak on ->remove() auxdisplay: charlcd: Move to_priv() to charlcd namespace auxdisplay: charlcd: Introduce charlcd_free() helper auxdisplay: panel: Convert to use charlcd_free() auxdisplay: hd44780: Convert to use charlcd_free() drivers/auxdisplay/charlcd.c | 32 +++++++++++++++++++------------- drivers/auxdisplay/hd44780.c | 4 +++- drivers/auxdisplay/panel.c | 4 ++-- include/misc/charlcd.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
