The point is that the device shouldn't be deleted if we were following
the device driver model. After all the uGuru device exists in your
system before the abituguru driver is loaded, and is still there after
the driver is unloaded.
Now I agree that for now it won't make a difference, be we are
preparing for the future, and all other hardware monitoring drivers
were updated that way already.

Oops, yes, that was a typo, sorry.
