This may however work ;-) Because at `request_irq()` time, all it needs
is ready, and if it fails, `RegistrationInner` won't construct.

    try_pin_init!(&this in Self {
        handler,
        inner: Devres::new(
            dev,
            RegistrationInner {
                // Needs to use `handler` address as cookie, same for
                // request_irq().
                cookie: &raw (*(this.as_ptr().cast()).handler),
                irq: {
                     to_result(unsafe { bindings::request_irq(...) })?;
					 irq
				}
             },
             GFP_KERNEL,
        )?,
        _pin: PhantomPinned
    })
