Yes, see this one indeed:

I think this is for Greg to answer, but my guess would be that you maybe could
not have. I don't know if there is a formal deprecation procedure.

This is just cleanup work that has been laying around for a
while and some beginners like me have progressed this to gain kernel patching
experience. I see that this was already being worked on in 2023. I am now
removing the last references to class_create() in drivers so that the API
can finally be retired.

Thanks,
Jori.
