[PATCH 31/31] ASoC: SOF: Use auto-cleanup for firmware loading

Takashi Iwai <[email protected]> Wed, 5 Aug 2026 15:52:32 +0200
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-sound
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Simplify the code to manage the firmware loading with __free(firmware)
and __free(kfree) auto-cleanups for the firmware data and the temporary
string or array.

Only the code refactoring, no functional changes.
