The problem solved by patch 4 relates to the oreder that we're acquiring
the resources in probe and how the error handling of that works.
If I squash the two patches, it seems that I would have a lengthy commit

unregister from X to Y because...".
I.e. it doesn't feel like the same logical change to me.
Please let me know if you disagree.
