The functions that set up async sub-devices can be called multiple times
(on separate references). This is quite alike setting up a control handler
really, so I adopted the same pattern.

If there is a failure, how many async sub-devices should be cleaned up, if
there have been async sub-devices already set up before calling this
function?
