I am not familiar with the fb stuff internals but here is what I see:
# modprobe radeonfb
leads to:

I can confirm that offb_destroy is never called (not sure exactly
why), but in any case the call to radeon_kick_out_firmware_fb happen
much earlier, at least before the put_fb_info.
Could you describe a bit more the chain of calls you were thinking of ?
