But the only caller doesn't check the return code. Where did you expect for this
error to be detected?

The above should *really* be several changes. Start with the non-functional
preparatory changes, followed by single functional change. Also, it seems to me
adding the device node prior to enabling building on ARM would make sense??

I've broken this up, verified incremental build, and rewritten the commit
messages. I have this sitting in a local branch currently.

I need you to respond to the question above re the create call, but I'll make
the change myself.
