Why? I still cannot wrap my mind around, why we need to store *pd at all 
and use sysfb_try_unregister() for unregistering.

As it stands, I strongly object the use of this function as still don't 
really get the purpose. It looks like a glorified wrapper around 
platform_device_unregister(). Do we need disable_lock to serialize with 
something else?
