PATCH: add class_device_find

[Jamey Hicks]

This patch adds:

struct class_device * class_device_find(struct class *class, const char 
*class_id)

to find a class device by name so that drivers that match up class 
devices by ID do not need to reach into the internals of class 
implementation.  RMK recommended that I take this approach, and it seems 
reasonable to me.  Please let me know what you think.
