The use case is for enclosure destruction, so the free should never
happen, but I take the point; I've added a class_device_get().

"should" to me means you don't have to do this but ought to. I'll add a
may (but should not).

Not really ... I'll make it a BUG_ON.

No ... it'll oops on the null deref later ... I'll remove this.

Yes, fixed.

It shouldn't be, no ... I can remove it.

Nitpicker!

I just followed precedence ;-P

There doesn't seem to be a define for this maximum length, so 40 is the
most commonly picked constant.

One will try to summon up the enthusiasm.

Yes ... I'll add it to the todo list.

No ... it's designed for echo; however, I'll add a check for '\0' which
will catch the write case.

OK ... I was just following precedence again, but I can make them
inlines.
