You create a temporary, but half of the code does not use it. Please if
you introduce a temporary make sure everything is using it.

This double check was a cheat when resources did not free automatically,
it makes no sense to carry with devm.

LEDs can also be registered with devm.

It is not great that we are left with non-empty qt2160_remove(). The
driver should be converted away from using work item, and then entirety
of qt2160_remove() can be deleted.

I posted a series that cleans up the driver and incorporates an updated
version of your patch.

Thanks.
