Nope, that's the point of the _or_reset part of that call. Note that we used to manually handle the result of devm_add_action, but this little wrapper does that for us. In all failure cases it will run the callback provided to it. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.8/source/include/linux/device.h#L688 So it should always be called 'after' the thing it is setting up the unwinding function for.
