DESCRIPTION

23       This is used to create a struct class pointer that can then be used in
24       calls to device_create.
25
26       Returns struct class pointer on success, or ERR_PTR on error.
27
28       Note, the pointer created here is to be destroyed when finished by
29       making a call to class_destroy.
