Justin, did you try compiling your new code? Those unused values are
there because device_create_file is declared as __must_check.


I went as far as compiling, once I saw no warning then figured o.k
I'll send out what I have for feedback then go from there.
(and just for the record I want to thank those who took the time to go
through and give feedback).

It's a little surprising that you didn't get any warning. I guess you
don't have CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK turned on.

no nothing.. just the original warning.. as for MUST_CHECK
yeah your right it's off.
