    I was hoping we could use class_for_each_device() and
    class_find_device() to replace all this code. Then we wouldn't need all
    this klist stuff that the class is taking care of already.

    Why is this added now and not in the previous patch?

    Yes I think we want rproc_free() to actually call put_device() the last
    time and free the resources.
