Funny.
A file untouched for about 18 months and 2 patches around the same line,
... the same day!

Obviously, mine is better :)
More seriously, I think it is mostly a mater of taste and that both are
fine. Neither one will make a real difference IRL.
I guess that memory allocation failure in probe are unlikely and saving
64 bytes (40 for devm_ + 2 x 4 = 48, rounded to 64 bytes) won't make any
real difference.
Up to you.
