IIRC, I never made the switch towards devm for i2c_hid because at the
time there was a "all or nothing" rule regarding devm.
But given that the regulator already has a devm inside, I think we are
screwed here and we should probably try to devm-ize the module.

I seem to remember that someone posted a devm version of
hid_allocate_device/hid-add_device, but I don't think this ever went
upstream (because no use).

Otherwise, for the series:
