I'm not doing that. One of my questions is if MKDEV(0, 0) is valid for
create_device, which I inferred so from the documentation.
Here is the listing

static ssize_t howareyou_show(struct class *class, struct class_attribute *attr,
char *buf)
{
return sprintf(buf, "%s\n", "How are you?");
}
static CLASS_ATTR_RO(howareyou);

static struct class my_class = {
.name = "my-class",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
};

struct device* child_device;


static int mypci_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev,
const struct pci_device_id *id)
{
int ret;

ret = pcim_enable_device(pdev);
if (ret)
return ret;

ret = class_register(&my_class);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;


pr_info("DFG: Recognized. DID: %lx\n", (unsigned long int)id->driver_data);
pr_info("DFG: device DID: %lx\n", (unsigned long int)pdev->device);

ret = class_create_file(&my_class, &class_attr_howareyou);
if (ret != 0)
{
pr_err("DFG class create file error: %d\n", ret);
class_unregister(&my_class);
return ret;
}

child_device = device_create(&my_class, &pdev->dev, MKDEV(0, 0),
NULL, "child");
if (child_device == NULL)
{
pr_err("DFG error child device NULL");
}

return ret;
}

static void mypci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
/* I tried enabling and disabling this code
if (child_device != NULL)
{
put_device(child_device);
device_unregister(child_device);
}
*/

class_remove_file(&my_class, &class_attr_howareyou);
class_unregister(&my_class);
}

static const struct pci_device_id my_dids[] = {
{ PCI_VDEVICE(INTEL, 0xa30e), (unsigned long)0xa30e },
{ PCI_VDEVICE(INTEL, 0xa324), (unsigned long)0xa324 },
{ },
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, my_dids);

static struct pci_driver my_pci_driver = {
.name = "dfg-pci",
.id_table = my_dids,
.probe = mypci_probe,
.remove = mypci_remove,
};

module_pci_driver(my_pci_driver);
