09:34 <robmur01> diederik: removing the free is supposed to be a consequence of converting the corresponding alloc to the new devm_ version (which is then automatically freed later, but in the right order)

09:36 <robmur01> just removing it on its own means the driver will leak the current non-managed alloc every time it defers, but as a temporary way to get past a crash that's perhaps not too big a deal

09:38 <robmur01> note the conversion is hidden in core code in patch #1

09:39 <robmur01> I guess picking that patch instead might be more sensible

09:39 <diederik> Thanks! That was the link I was missing

09:40 <diederik> I'm not a C developer, but I can read C code to a reasonable extend (... or so I thought)

09:42 <diederik> Technically it's not a problem to just add the whole patch set to my kernel and I was already planning to do that. But it's much better if I actually understand what/where I was missing the link
