What bad could happen if the device is left behind after your app exited?
If nothing, you can just let it be; when the app runs again it will reuse
the device.
If you definitely must remove the device, make the driver detect that the
app
exited, for example, leave a pending ioctl. The driver will
receive cleanup when the app exits.
