empty open/close functions are never needed, just drop them.

It is impossible for container_of() to return NULL, unless something
very magical and rare just happened. It's just doing pointer math, you
can never check the return value of it.

Nice that userspace has a way to fill up the kernel log :(

Just return the correct error here, don't log it.
