These APIs aren't used anywhere and most-likely exist because of the general principle of C APIs, where if an API function does an allocation/registration, it must also have an equivalent deallocation/deregistration counterpart.
For devm_ functions this isn't all that true (for all cases), as the idea of these function is to provide an auto-cleanup logic on drivers/system de-init.
Removing these discourages any weird logic that could be created with such an API functions.
