Yes, this is the right fix - I did not expect people to be claiming
resources after adding the component master, since that is the point
at which the master can become active. Hence all resources that may
be used should either already be claimed, or (preferred) be claimed
when the master gets the bind call.

However, I think the i915 bits are more complex than that simple view,
so putting the component stuff inside its own devres group and closing
it at the end of try_to_bring_up_master() makes sense.

Thanks.
