Sorry for discussing about the same thing again (and again) but I just 
want to be sure before sending a new version. As you know I have 2 
domains: EXTI domain (parent) and stm32-pinctrl-bank domain (child one).

There does it make sens to have ".free" callbacks defined in both domain 
(actually if I define one for the child domain I have to define also 
".free" callback for parent domain (EXTI) as it is hierarchical) ?
If ".free" have no chance to be called then I will send a new version by 
removing .free callbacks (in both domain).

Regards
Alex
