<br />
The actual device uninit usually happens on a separate thread<br />
scheduled after this code runs, but there is no guarantee of order<br />
of thread execution, so this could be a problem. There&#39;s no<br />
actual need to clear the client_id at this point, so simply<br />
remove the offending code.
