No, device_del() is not involved in what this patch is addressing. Prior
to device_add() the container of that device is allocated and acquires
some resources. device_add() and device_del() are only registering /
unregistering the device with the device-core. The release method undoes
any resource acquisition done *prior* to device_add().
