Hmm... Daniel mentioned in the changelog you wrote the initial patch,
and you are credited as the author of the patch, since he kept your
"Signed-off-by: ..." as the first one.

Quite frankly, keeping vxlan_handle_lowerdev_unregister() was the right
choice.

Stop thinking that a function needs to be used more than once to have
the right to exist. Splitting code in small parts ease readability and
code reuse/refactor, this should be obvious to you.
