Well, I guess it depends on a point of view. devm_ manages resources
owned by a parent device, such as IRQs, memory, io regions, clocks,
regulators, and now input devices. So devm_ does manage input devces as
resources of their parent devices.

No, devres_destroy() does not actually run the release handler so we
need to call it explicitly.

And what would that achieve? What would trigger unregistration?

That is the whole point of devres: it releases resources attached to
the parent device (either when ->probe() fails or after ->remove() is
called) in the opposed order of acquiring said resources. Think of it as
calling destructors in C++ code.

Nope ;) See above about devres_destroy().
