driver core: remove device_create()
There are no more users of this, and it is racy. Use device_create_drvdata() or device_create_vargs() instead. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

- * A "dev" file will be created, showing the dev_t for the device, if
- * the dev_t is not 0,0.
- * If a pointer to a parent struct device is passed in, the newly created

- * The pointer to the struct device will be returned from the call.
- * Any further sysfs files that might be required can be created using this
- * pointer.
- *
- * Note: the struct class passed to this function must have previously
- * been created with a call to class_create().
