Converting kzalloc to devm_kzalloc simplifies the code and ensures that the
result, alert, is freed after the irq allocated by the subsequent
devm_request_irq. This in turn ensures that when an interrupt can be
triggered, the alert structure is still available.
The problem of a free after a devm_request_irq was found using the
following semantic match (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
devm_request_irq@p1(e1,e2,...,x)
... when any
when != e2 = a
when != x = b
if (...) {
... when != e2 = c
when != x = d
free@p2(...,x,...);
...
return ...;
}
