I am having a problem with an older patch which is currently in
linux-next (20141120) and which might be related to this new patch set.

On an Acer C720 if a suspend and resume is performed the touchpad will
stop working.  If the cyapa driver is reloaded it will begin working
again.

I performed a bisect and found that the following patch was the cause.

  Use of managed resources simplifies error handling and device removal
  code.

If I can provide any other information that would be of help let me know.
I will try out your new patchset if I get a chance.
