This patch (patch 2 of this series) was to refactor the existing code and
group the reg/unreg operations as bnxt_re_add_device/bnxt_re_remove_device. The
third patch in this series is introducing the dealloc_driver hook and
changing the code as
you suggested by calling ib_unregister_device_queued/ ib_unregister_driver.
I didn't want to squash these two patches together.
