Another approach would be to just move devm_kzalloc() a few lines
further up (above of_find_compatible_node()).
That would catch similar issues in future when someone wants to add
more code right after devm_kzalloc(). That said, I don't think that
this is a likely scenario so the patch is fine for me as-is.

Thanks a lot for submitting this!


Best regards,
Martin
