Most things would work just fine - most of the uses of devm_ are just

It doesn't really matter if you free the driver's private structure
before you free the clock that's pointing to it or whatever since
neither has any real connection to the other.

If you have DMA / IRQ / command engine deactivations in devm path
which often is the case with full conversions, freeing any resources
including DMA areas and host private data in the wrong order is a
horrible idea.  It's worse as it won't really be noticeable in most
cases.

Thanks.
