I don't agree with the new devres stuff.

You have to be very careful with the ordering of when you map/unmap
registers, free up anciliary resources, etc. in relationship to when
the netdev unregister happens.

Please submit this driver without these controversial devres changes,
and then you can submit and discuss those changes separately later.

Thanks.
