Still, shouldn't we fail the removal of the device apart from giving the
warning?

We can't.  device_del() can't fail -- it returns void.  Besides, how 
can a driver hope to deal with an unregistration failure?

Well, right.

Still, our present approach doesn't seem to be correct overall.  For example,
I think we should prevent a suspend from happening while a device is being
removed.
