This is a very critical patch and exactly the kind of change that should
_never_ be hurried !
FAICS it has some severe issues and it's not clear how easy it will be
to fix it within the the 3.14-rc cycle.
As long as it's not ready, don't merge it for 3.14.

em28xx resources releasing is broken since ... well... at least 2 years.
3.14 will already be much better and nobody will care if this remaining
issue is addressed a kernel release later.

Be warned !
