Hmmm... it depends on the specific driver is converted but if the
deactivation sequence - shutting down of command engine - is also
handled by devm as in libata and if you have non-devres resource free
in the exit path, you have the same problem.  Again, in general,
tearing things down in the order which isn't the reverse of allocation
is a bad idea.  Adhering to the order isn't that hard and will result
in far less craziness in the long term.

Thanks.
