Yeah, don't move attributes around for no good reason, you will make
userspace grumpy :)

Someone tried to work around the internal kernel warning that comes
about when you set a release function to NULL.  As per the in-kernel
documentation, I now get to make fun of that author by saying "do you
think I added those checks and message just for no good reason?  Don't
try to be smarter than the driver core by providing an empty release
function to make the kernel be quiet.  That's NOT what the kernel is
trying to tell you here at all."

So fix this, that is the correct thing to do.  Memory is freed in a
release function, to not do so is almost always a sign of a design bug.

Thanks, this code is broken and needs to be fixed.
