Yes, but I'm also fine with GPL-2.0-only.

I've been told the race got fixed from kernel POV?

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20200521055400.GX89269@dtor-ws/

If this is still an issue, I think most (all?) existing instances of
devm_device_add_group() are a problem and it makes sense to have a
checkpatch warning for it.

I expect, that Mark wants this to be restructured anyways. If
it stays in its current form I will split this into three patches

1) export spidev probe/remove
2) add ezport support module
3) add gehc-achc driver gluing both together

Thanks for the review.
