> You can just add a drmm action which calls your release function. The
> upshot is that you can be more fine-grained (useful for unwinding when
> driver load fails halfway through). That's why I think new drivers
> after this patch shouldn't use ->release anymore, it's strictly less
> useful than drmm actions. The less unwind code I have to review
> carefully to make sure the right stuff gets released (and not more!)
> the better.
>From that perspective I agree - gently pushing people to use drmm_
is only good.
