I wonder if we need to grab a reference to class_dev->dev here:
dev = device_get(class_dev->dev);
if (dev) {
....
}
Otherwise, if device gets unregistered/deleted before class device is
deleted we'll get into trouble when removing the link since
class_dev->dev will be garbage.
.. But grabbing that reference will cause pains in SCSI system which,
when I looked, removed class devices from device's release function.
