Just a heads-up, this patch is also required for a patch series with some
improvements for devres (sent out soon), which itself in turn will be needed for
the next version of the series adding device driver support for misc device [1].

Unless there's a reason not to do so, we hence probably want to take the misc
device patches through the driver-core tree. A subsequent conflict with the
char-misc tree seems extremely unlikely.
