Right, the last "Fixes:" tag is the origin of the bug but the refactoring into
different functions and files made it non-obvious how this patch was related.
Happy to drop these though.

This isn't a different fix though, it is just about maintaining the original
behaviour which called revoke_iomem() after dropping the lock. I inadvertently
switched this around in the initial patch such that revoke_iomem() got called
with the lock, leading to deadlock on x86 with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=y.

This does change the order of revoke_iomem() and devres_add() slightly, but as
far as I can tell that shouldn't be an issue. Can call that out in the commit
log.
