This API hook isn't used anywhere and most-likely exists because of the general principle of C APIs, where if an API function does an allocation/registration, it must also have an equivalent deallocation/deregistration counterpart. For devm_ functions this isn't all that true (for all cases), as the idea of these function is to provide an auto-cleanup logic on drivers/system de-init. Removing this also discourages any weird logic that could be created with such an API function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
