Sorry, I overlooked that it's after the recent code change with the
devres support.

Then rather drop this one, as I found another potential issue in this
patch.  I cooked another different fix now that should cover the
regression, instead.  It'll be included in the next pull request.

The other two patches are fine for stable trees.
