With this we actually may simply provide a match function and it will make the
clean ups (like patch 2 in the series) almost the same without introducing a
device core call.

Something like

int device_match_any_for_find(struct device *dev, void *unused)
{
return 1;
}

As I replied to Greg it's pity we can't use device_match_any()...
