The issue is the error path or removal stage where it may or may be
not problematic. To be on the safe side, the best approach is to make
sure that allocated resources are being deallocated in the reversed
order. That said, the

1. call non-devm_func()
2. call devm_func()

is wrong strictly speaking.

I also pointed out above what would be the outcome of neglecting this rule.
