The existing code does both:

static int iicbb_detach(device_t dev)
{
        struct iicbb_softc *sc = (struct iicbb_softc *)device_get_softc(dev);

        if (sc->iicbus) {
                bus_generic_detach(dev);
                device_delete_child(dev, sc->iicbus);
        }

        return (0);
}

static int
iicsmb_detach(device_t dev)
{
        struct iicsmb_softc *sc = (struct iicsmb_softc *)device_get_softc(dev);
        
        bus_generic_detach(dev);
        if (sc->smbus) {
                device_delete_child(dev, sc->smbus);
        }

        return (0);
}

Maybe a better solution in both cases is to just map device_detach to
bus_generic_detach() - in which case my patch in kern/92092 is overly
baroque.  I was hoping that someone might shed some insight into why
it was done that way in the first case.
