A few trivial things inline. Not are important enough to need a change though.

Type doesn't really help us here so why not skip the local variable.
	remove_resource(data);
	kfree(data);

Though I'd rename data to r.

Could use __free() magic here and steal the pointer when you setup the
devm action below.  Only a small simplification in this case, so up to
you.

Trivial:

	return dev_add_action_or_reset(host...)
