I take that back. I didn't realize how much of a f***ing trainwreck the
device system is...apparently the callers expect device_register() to
clone the device, but this fact was hidden well within the old list
implementation. Your patches makes this much more apparent, which is
obviously good.

Oh, and your patch fixes the breakage I was seeing on avr32. Thanks.
