How do you destroy the fw_cfg device after it is successfully realized?
I wouldn't introduce such a blatant leak out of oversight.

Does that mean an unrealize callback?

I wanted to keep the static ops object for the common user, because it
is very convenient when debugging in gdb -- the address is automatically
resolved to the name of the static object. I guess I can do (1) (if that
means an unrealize callback).
