This specifically fixes resource leaks in the registration error paths. Device-managed resources is a bad fit for this driver as devices can be registered from the n_nci line discipline. Firstly, a tty may not even have a corresponding device (should it be part of a Unix98 pty) something which would lead to a NULL-pointer dereference when registering resources. Secondly, if the tty has a class device, its lifetime exceeds that of the line discipline, which means that resources would leak every time the line discipline is closed (or if registration fails). Currently, the devres interface was only being used to request a reset gpio despite the fact that it was already explicitly freed in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() (along with the private data), something which also prevented the resource leak at close. Note that the driver treats gpio number 0 as invalid despite it being perfectly valid. This will be addressed in a follow-up patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
