I'm not sure why or what you're trying to argue here but take a look
at devm_pwm_release() for example.  It calls back into low level
driver free routine.  Are you arguing that it'd be a good idea to
release pci regions before this is complete?  It's just stupid to do
any differently.  There's nothing to argue about.
