Is platform_device_del() the partner to platform_device_add()?  If so
then yes, this looks right.  But I think the labels can be improved:

However, take a look at test_exit().  it does
platform_device_unregister(test0) when test0 is in the same state.  Is
that code wrong as well?  Presumably it's working OK?
