this debug check is superflous.

this really should be a per-device timer - or even better using
schedule_delayed_work()

With these two changes you could get rid of amb_devs easily.  If you still
want to keep it for some reason at least use list_for_each_entry.

this doesn't look correct (without knowing the atm subsystem in detail), in
general you need to unregister from the subsystem first so you don't get
new work, and then you can start tearing the hardware down.

Also disabling the device before releasing the regions doesn't make too much
sense to me, even if it may be valid.
