Catching static programming errors seems like an expensive use of the
last runtime flag in the enum. It would be weird to devres manage the
unregister and not also choose to manage the underlying memory in the
same fashion, so it wouldn't be an obvious mistake to make. If it must
be enforced, one could also iterate over the registered release
functions and check for the presence of devm_free_netdev without
burning the flag.
