This looks wrong. The devlist should be only released on the "driver"
unload, not on every device release. The list retains the fwnode to
assign the same name for a device, if it is re-probed (e.g., due to
-EPROBE_DEFER error).

I think in that case my suggestion to change it to devm_krealloc_array
might be wrong then. Probably worth putting an explicit comment there in
case someone tries to tidy up all the non devm allocators to devm ones.
But how do you release a single device without releasing the whole driver?
