There is documentation about what kinds of devm functions exist, but it is
too bad that there is no documentation about where they can be used.
Often there are several levels of function pointers involved, so it can be
hard to figure out whether they can be used just by looking at the code.
I have only taken the strategy of using them in kinds of functions where
someone else has alreadyy figured out that they can be used.
