What it did is:

        if (dev->release)
                dev->release(dev);
        else if (dev->type && dev->type->release)
                dev->type->release(dev);
        else if (dev->class && dev->class->dev_release)
                dev->class->dev_release(dev);
        else
                WARN(1, KERN_ERR "Device '%s' does not have a release()
function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.\n",
                        dev_name(dev));

So it looks not.

Yes, but my understanding is class and bus are mutually exclusive. So we
can't add a class to a device which is already attached on a bus.

Thanks
