I'm not really sure if this is working. For example, pinctrl [1]
allocates a double pointer here. The res pointer here and in
can_led_release simply points to invalid memory. But as long as you
don't dereference it, it should work.

The pinctrl usecase if different, pinctrl needs that extra memory
because they cannot get a reference to their pinctrl they have to put.
