You're making it sound as if there's some race condition going on.
That's not the reason. They should be avoided in subsystem code
because you have no guarantee that the function will be called after
the driver is attached to the device nor that it will not be
referenced after the managed resources were released after a driver
detach. It's about life-times not synchronization.
