The old code assigns con2fb_map[unit] before is calls
newinfo->fbops->fb_release).
I wonder if there can be any callback to fbcon where the value
of con2fb_map[unit] matters?

These all look like candidates to stuff into fbcon_release()
That would drop the nice symmetry but make it more consistent.

I think we miss freeing ops->cursor_data in fbcon_exit(),
but I did not follow all the code.

With my ramblings considered the patch is
