[PATCH v5 00/16] Cleanup chardev instances with helper function

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Hey,

This version of the series fixes the issue found by the kbuild test
robot with the rtc driver. I managed to reproduce the issue and this
series fixes the problem.

Logan


Changes since v4:

* Fix a kbuild robot issue with the rtc driver: the rtc driver sometimes
  does not want to add the cdev. In order to accommodate this, the new
  cdev_device helper functions check dev->devt and if it's zero they
  don't add or delete the cdev.

* Remove prototypes for functions that were removed in the rtc driver

Changes since v3:

* Added a missing "device.h" include which caused warnings with some
  build configurations

Changes since v2:

* Expanded comments as per Jason's suggestions
* Collected tags
* Updated the switchtec patch seeing it's underlying patch set changed

Changes since v1:

* Expanded the idea to take care of adding the cdev and the device
