No, r, being a pointer to device's archdata, can also be gone.

Also, I'd note to Ran Sun, that sending an unversioned fix for a fix
is frowned upon. Please send a proper versioned patch with the
included changelog, etc.
I think I have already pointed you to Documentation/process/ files.
Please read them carefully and follow them, otherwise your further
patches can get ignored/NAKed.
