This looks odd. Why are we letting the device be removed while it is in
use by other drivers? Can't we pin the device with get_device() so it
can't be removed and then prevent the driver from being removed until
all the consumer drivers drop the reference, i.e. suppress sysfs unbind?

Otherwise it looks like a generic problem that all provider devices,
clks, regulators, gpios, etc. have to deal with and thus this
hand-rolled mechanism can't be right.
