Subject: [PATCH 2/2] miscdevice: Use module_misc_device() macro

This patch removes module_init()/module_exit() from driver code by using
module_misc_device() macro.

This patch removes print statements in module init method, so it is sent
as a separate patch. If print statements are necessary this patch can be
dropped entirely.
