Whilst we are here, can we avoid allocating the chardev at all if
we have neither buffer support, nor events? So don't add the chrdev to the device.
That covers quite a wide range of slow devices and is a nice incidental
improvement (to be honest I'd forgotten we actually created a chardev
in those circumstance :(
