Awesome, thanks for the answer.

As it turns out, a ton of the work is done for you nowadays by udev, so device_create() did it. Thanks

I think the class stuff is deprecated upstream, see

I suspect you should just be using misc_register() or device_create()
instead of whatever you are doing today, no class required.
