Subject: No more "device" symlinks for classes

Hi guys,

I just wanted to know the rationale behind
99ef3ef8d5f2f5b5312627127ad63df27c0d0d05 (no more "device" symlink in
class devices). I thought that was a rather convenient way of finding
which physical device the class device was coupled to.

Rgds
