It is my understanding that since glue is allocated with devm_kzalloc(), 
that if the probe function returns and error, glue and everything else 
allocated with devm_* will be automatically freed.

If this is not the case, wouldn't devm_kfree() be the appropriate 
function instead?

I disagree. Since these are now automatically freed because of changes 
in the probe function, these changes belong in the same patch.
