I guess it will be necessary to remove a sysctl oid from a parent
sysctl tree before destroying ucom structures.
It's would be better to do in ucom_detach() but now there is no a
pointer to a parent device structure from there.

Now all drivers that use ucom pass a pointer to parent softc structure
to ucom_attach().
Is there any reason for this?
May be it's would be more useful to pass a pointer to a parent device structure.

I've got a gps receiver and a mobile phone that supported by the umodem driver.
I can attach its in any order.
So I use sysctl to generate gpsd and ppp configs with appropriate
values of serial port.
