Right now we get a WARN from platform_device_unregister() because our platform_device has no ->release function. This is clearly wrong, but we should be warning so we can figure out what happened, as this failure results in bug reports. So WARN() about the real problem, and use the registration function that gives us a default release() function. This fixes the tracback reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840621 , though it does not fix the actual /problem/ the user is seeing.
