Oops, sorry for the typo.

Yeah.  v4 coming up soon then.

Confirmed that we need it.  Specifically from
"Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst"

It's my assertion that having it in devm is as good as having it in
the remove() callback because devres_release_all() follows the
remove() calls in base/dd.c
