thanks for your reply.
of course, i prefer your change.

!memcmp(old->config_rom, config_rom, 6 * 4) ?

is this extra condition old->state == FW_DEVICE_GONE required ?

namely, is it okay for  below return ?
return  !memcmp(old->config_rom, config_rom, 6 * 4) && old->state ==
FW_DEVICE_GONE

may remove this TODO line since i will simply remove the cast with the
other patch series as shown below:

is it okay to put_device() here as well ?
put_device(revived_dev);
