I briefly wondered what you meant here.  Key is you are referring to
devm_request_threaded_irq() much further down.

Absolutely agree that's wrong.  Rule is devm until you stop doing devm and
then no more devm.

Here it looks like we can take the whole thing devm but it will need
some custom callbacks and we may run into corner cases with runtime_pm()
messing with the supplies and devm cleanup doing so (that applies even
without devm being involved)
