Please, drop the second (duplicate) call.

Please, justify why this code is good without error checking. Before doing that
think for a moment for the cases when devm_*() might be developed in the future

Mixing devm with non-devm usually lead to hard to catch bugs in the error paths
/ remove stages with ordering of cleaning resources up.
