That change looks fine.

But I am a bit worried about the dev_num handling now that I think of
it. This is *only* at the manager level. At the peripheral level, the
dev_num register has not been modified so the hardware still reports as
ATTACHED with the dev_num whose mask was cleared on the host side.
IOW we have a zombie peripheral on the link, and if we do a sequence
rmmod/insmod things could be fun...
