First of all, note "remove" vs. "release". Have you tried to remove and insert
module several times? Does kmemleak happy about this?

Second, calling devm_*() for release resources is very exceptional situation.
This usually means that something is wrong to begin with in the probe.

Can you find a better way without calling devm_*() for releasing resources?
