Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/7] drivers: base: Add resource managed version of
 delayed work init

A few drivers which need a delayed work-queue must cancel work at exit.
Some of those implement remove solely for this purpose. Help drivers
to avoid unnecessary remove and error-branch implementation by adding
managed verision of delayed work initialization
