We no longer define a 'release' method for the AFU device. We need one,
which should in turn free the info struct when the device ref count hits
0. That should explain the following error seen when unloading the driver:
"Device 'xyz' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must
be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt"
