What code are you looking at?

I see this in the Mark's tree

int skl_platform_register(struct device *dev) {
     int ret;
     struct snd_soc_dai_driver *dais;
     int num_dais = ARRAY_SIZE(skl_platform_dai);
     struct hdac_bus *bus = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
     struct skl *skl = bus_to_skl(bus);

     INIT_LIST_HEAD(&skl->ppl_list);
     INIT_LIST_HEAD(&skl->bind_list);

     skl->dais = kmemdup(skl_platform_dai, sizeof(skl_platform_dai),
                 GFP_KERNEL);
     if (!skl->dais) {
         ret = -ENOMEM;
         goto err;
     }

     if (!skl->use_tplg_pcm) {
         dais = krealloc(skl->dais, sizeof(skl_fe_dai) +
                 sizeof(skl_platform_dai), GFP_KERNEL);


No trace of devm as you mention it? I checked the Chrome tree as well and it's not there.

What am I missing?
