Can you change this to use a "struct device" instead? We are trying to
get rid of class_device, and there are only 3 users of it in the kernel
today (memorystick, infiniband, and scsi), and I have patches pending to
fix all of these. For 2.6.26 I would like to be rid of it finally.

If you want, I would be glad to fix this up for you, it should be a
pretty simple replacement.

And if when you convert, you can get rid of this pointer, it would not
be needed.

Nor would this one. Actually I don't think you need this one today
anyway...

thanks,
