Sorry for the trouble. Looks like I did too much cleanup this time around.

Looks ok. I'll have to send a follow-up patch - we should check the
return value of devm_add_action_or_reset(). No idea why I didn't do that
in this series. I'll do that after the commit window closes (and after
I am back from vacation).

Thanks a lot for sorting this out.
