AFAICT, you'd need to test this on a box which is not supported (family
check below). Or you can tweak the family check so that it doesn't
apply and run it on a test box of yours to see whether the module still
unloads properly in the error case (and doesn't remain loaded as in
our case due to something in sysfs remaining registered although it
shouldn't).

Thanks.
