Right, except we assign that misc device to every psp device:

	psp->sev_misc = psp_misc_dev;

so the question now is, how do you want this to work: the misc device
should be destroyed after the last psp device is destroyed or how?

Because after the first:

	psp_misc_dev = NULL;

the respective psp->sev_misc will still keep references to that device
but the device itself will be already deregistered. And that sounds
strange.
