This call triggers the elimination of storage associated with the
transport classdev. Note: all it really does is relinquish a
reference to the classdev. The memory will not be freed until the
last reference goes to zero. Note also that the classdev retains a
reference count on dev, so dev too will remain for as long as the
transport class device remains around.
