These can be used by subsystems to unregister a platform device registered

You could have multiple instances of simple-framebuffer because you don't know what the firmware set up. It originated from DT and EFI/VESA is really just an afterthought. If there is more than 1 instance, your entire unregistering breaks down.

(I've been told that such multi-output cases exist in the context of OF framebuffers. Something similar could exist for simple-frambuffer as well.)

Best regards
