Thanks for an update! My comments / questions below.

Do you really need both explicit castings?

But how you can guarantee this pointer:
 - belongs to devres,
 - hasn't gone while you run a ksize()?

Can you move some parameters to the previous line?

But new_dr may concurrently gone at this point, no? It means memcpy() should be
under spin lock.
