Yeah, that's why I asked about a deeper problem. There's not really a
"shut down this device" flag, so the only way I can think of that we
might make a device completely unusable is if we release all the device
resources and then fail to reassign them.

A concrete example, e.g., a dmesg log, would go a long ways toward
clarifying this.
