The memory used to be allocated with devres helpers and released automatically. In rare circumstances, the memory's release could have happened before the DRM device got released, which would have caused memory corruption of some kind. Now we're embedding the data structures in struct hibmc_drm_private. The whole release problem has been resolved, because struct hibmc_drm_private is allocated with drmm_kzalloc and always released with the DRM device.

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 Restructured Text 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.
