Subject: [PATCH] vfio: replace vfio->device_class with a const struct class
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 21:40:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306204032.353452-1-jkoolstra@xs4all.nl> (raw)

The class_create() call has been deprecated in favor of class_register()
as the driver core now allows for a struct class to be in read-only
memory. Replace vfio->device_class with a const struct class and drop
the class_create() call.

Compile tested with both CONFIG_VFIO_DEVICE_CDEV on and off (and
CONFIG_VFIO on); found no errors/warns in dmesg.
