Sorry, I wasn't clear.  There's a rudimentary garbage collector devm
which tracks all the resources associated with a device.  The previous
patch that I sent you which created an explict resource group and
released it uses the same mechanism.  When any device gets destroyed,
it should release all associated resources and I was wondering why
that wasn't happening without the explicit group operations.  I'll
write up a debug patch to track down what's going on.

Thanks.
