Ownership of this memory is a bit weird...

Here clearly the bus code owns it...

But it's allocated in the chip driver...

And the chip driver now is expected to know it's a device, and trust
that the bus code knows how to free the memory.

As this clearly fixes a bug or two, I say we should take this patch
as-is and worry about proper ownership at some other time.
