Yes, for runtime disk configuration, we allocate the device in
nullb_group_make_item and free the device in nullb_device_release. the
nullb_device_power_store only does null_add_dev/null_del_dev, not allocate/free
dev.

Ah, yes, it should be 'dev->power'. dev == to_nullb_device(item). Do you want
me to send a separate patch to do the cleanup?

Thanks,
