commit 10a0cd6e4932b5078215b1ec2c896597eec0eff9 upstream.
The functions devm_memremap_pages() and devm_memremap_pages_release() use different ways to calculate the section-aligned amount of memory. The latter function may use an incorrect size if the memory region is small but straddles a section border.
Use the same code for both.
