In general all it takes is a good look at de-allocation of the resources it allocates. Another point with some hardware is that you need to deinitialise it and make it shut up / no longer produce interrupts. Also the encapsulation of the driver into a MODULE needs to be done, which should be fairly trivial or already done. Be reminded that you cannot detach from all the busses, like for example ISA.
