Are you sure about that? Some drivers do this, eg,

i2c_del_adapter(&drv_data->adapter);
free_irq(drv_data->irq, drv_data);

where drv_data was allocated using devm_kzalloc(), and so will be
released when the ->remove callback (which calls the above
i2c_del_adapter()) returns... freeing the embedded device struct.
