Agree.
You probably mean mdev_device_create here.

Agreee here too.

Looks like an issue to me too.

All these fixes seem reasonable and correct to me

Tiny nitpic: maybe a better name? or a comment for this function that state that
it tries removes the device even if in use

The patch looks OK to me, especially looking at the code after the changes were
apllied. I might have missed something though due to amount of changes done.
I lightly tested the whole patch series with my mdev driver, and it seems to
survive, but my testing doesn't test much of the error paths so there that.
I'll keep this applied so if I notice any errors I'll let you know.
If you could split this into few patches, this would be even better, but anyway
thanks a lot for this work!
