sure. Just to confirm we should separate out the devm_kzalloc part of the
change and add a fixes tag.

sure, so this should also go as fixes? and should we remove the other
dev_err(printk) also as fixes? or that can still got with the change
where we add fwnode based registration?

thanks for review!
