Hi Rob,

this is racy.

The deallocation of devm_* stuff is done _after_ the driver _remove callback 
ran, where in the gpio_regulator case it would already have done at least

>       gpio_free_array(drvdata->gpios, drvdata->nr_gpios);
> 
>       kfree(drvdata->states);

before the regulator gets deregistered, thus producing a race condition.
