It indeed does free devm allocated resources, but neither the gpio nor
the pwm are devm allocated.
As far as I can tell the gpio is allocated through devm as well:

Thus if it is not reclaimed with probe returns with -EPROBE_DEFER, then
I guess something is going wrong elsewhere. You are right that the PWM
should be freed by the driver thought.
Also please be aware that using a regulator in the pwm backlight will
instantly break all existing users. That's hardly your fault though.
Sorry, I don't see why. Could you elaborate on this?
Thanks,
Alex.
