Which is not the correct thing to do as explained in my last round
of reviews.  Take a look at the PCI code - the functional driver only
does a foo_untegister_driver (which maps almost directly to
driver_unregister), which then causes the device core to unbind the
devices.  The function driver must never call device_unregister
directly as the device continues to exist even if no driver is bound to
it.
