What should the code do if device_create_file() manages to fail? Yes, ignoring
the return value is one option, but is it the best one?  'return ret;' might be
another one. Somebody who understands this code and has more caffeine than me
should look this over.

(Nothing personal Justin - it's just my opinion that *anytime* we have a patch
that remove a check for a return code, it needs to justify that ignoring the
return code is appropriate).
