yes, we can.
I think it's a little strange that drivers need to invoke
dev_async_register to register an async device group, but don't need to
call dev_async_unregister to unregister it.

Many devices don't know if they support async actions or not during
device initialization time, like PCI and ACPI devices.
If we want to create an async group for a PCI device, we have to call
dev_async_register in the specified PCI device driver, rather than in
the PCI bus scan stage.
