Yes, I think we can do this. We just need to pay attention that people
make sure interrupts are disabled and/or freed when the adapter gets
removed. But this is also true for the current situation. I.e. removing
the adapter manually in remove() and then relying on devm_ to free the
interrupt is a bit dangerous.

Cool, I didn't know this function.
