Yeah, writing a new bus is a major pain, I keep meaning to work on the
api every year or so when I have to write a new one, but then I just
suffer through it and never get around to it :(

No, you shouldn't have to do that, the "struct device_type" that is
assigned to your device has a .release callback, that is what will be
called.  Make sure you set that for each device you create for your bus.
