Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for your review.

I think, it should contain actual device resource release code which is
being done by peci_del_adapter(), or a coupling logic should be added
between peci_adapter_dev_release() and peci_del_adapter().

As you suggested, I'll check it again after reading documentation and
understanding core.c code more deeply.
