Well we must first unregister it before we can remove it, so this is
unavoidable.

Wrt switching from _cleanup to _remove, iirc there was troubles with the
later calling into the fb->funcs->destroy hook. But many drivers have
their fbdev fb embedded into some struct (instead of a pointer like i915),
and then things go sideways badly. That's why you can't just blindly
replace them.
