Hi William,

A few minor comments.  Mostly seems to have come together well and
makes sense to me.

Not sure why this comment gets removed here.

It might be worth thinking about using cdev_device_add()
though will require a slightly different order of adding.

Probably good to give an example here as well as the cross reference.
