This is a good point. The ->exit() purpose is to keep balance for whatever
happened at ->setup().

But ->setup() is being called either when we have has_preferred == false or
when we got no matching we call it for all such consoles, till it returns an
error (can you elaborate the logic behind it?).

In both cases we will get the console to have CON_ENABLED flag set.
