The ds90ub9xx drivers were merged after I had written the patch that
converted all drivers and I didn't remember to revisit it.

If you look at the patch, it's doing very similar things than the patch in
the Fixes: tag.

There's also a workaround for sub-device drivers (that register async
sub-devices) but not for drivers that register a notifier. It probably
doesn't make sense to add a workaround for those how, rather remove the one
that exists (after some time).
