class_device_create(9) was removed from 2.6.28. device_create(9) was added during the migration to use a new device api, and is almost drop in compatible. I compared to the device_create() in mem.c, and frandom.c's device_create() arguments are identical, so I think the NULL's are in the right place. I'm doing a second build to confirm the only thing needed to fix linux-2.6.24.7-frandom-1.patch for the latest kernel is 's/class_device_create/device_create/'. My first test build with a minimal config built frandom.o without warnings or errors. Need to reboot and try it to be sure, and I'll repost to this thread. robert
