PCI core will take care about this one. Actually device core for any of
user of struct device.
See __device_release_driver() for the details.

Ah, sorry, I missed that these are suspend/resume hooks.

So, Can you elaborate a bit why you need to disable interrupts during
system suspend?

(Basically in this case better not to use devm_request_*irq() at all)

Use reversed tree for definition block.

The longest lines with the assignment = first;
Then lines without assignment;
Then return code variable;

Flags for spin_lock -- depends.

I'm not sure you need a copy. That function call just return the pointer
to the table.

I remember 8250_pci used to have similar approach, now it's using
whatever is kept by PCI core.

It's less error prone.

Yeah, same clarification as for above case with system sleep.
