Yes. I realized that this change is motivated by the fact that there is
the media_device_init() and we had the counterpart media_device_cleanup()
as an exported function. I still think there is no need to make the change
to add _cleanup() at the end of media_device_unregister(). It can be handled
in API documentation that it does both.
