Linus doesn't like rebases, especially not from one tree to another.
As it is, it may even be that he rejects my pull request because I rebased
to 3.5 before sending the pull request to him (I'll definitely not do that
again).

In addition, it may well be that some of your changes no longer apply
after the driver moved to its new location. So it is overall safer to move
the driver first, and convert it to devm_ functions afterwards.

If anything, I should not have applied Rafael's patch to the driver either.
