This is much better, thanks for re-spinning.

Could we store/fetch this with dev_{set,get}_drvdata(), and make
hidg->dev a pointer reducing the size of the struct f_hidg.

cdev_device_add() should take care of this, so long as:

    if (dev->devt)
        dev_set_parent(cdev, &dev->kobj);

Since we're holding the opts lock at this point, is there anything
preventing us from incrementing the refcnt at the end, just before
giving up the lock, thus saving 2 decrements in the error paths?

Nice.

Thanks for doing this John, your work is appreciated.
