There are three parts to it, a refcount on cdevsw which tells us if any thread is inside the driver using that route, a refcount on the individual cdev and a linkage between the two.

The device_busy() counter is still simplest (as long as there is a device_t at all). The implementation of devclass_delete_driver() will automatically veto the unload (when its called from driver_module_handler()).

The problem is that I cannot find the device_t without dereferencing the struct cdev (either for si_driver[12] or the dev_t) and by then it is too late. There is no way we can avoid refcounting on the cdev.

Ok, so you are going to handle this in specfs (or whatever replaces specfs)? That makes sense. Any ideas on how network interfaces should work in this?
