调用class_create(),class_device_create()函数编译报错的解决方法

在代码中加入class_create(),class_device_create()函数，编译时华丽丽得报了一大堆错误：

网上搜索后发现是Linux内核版本不同的原因！早期的版本，使用的是上面说的两个函数，但是在2.6.29以后，使用的函数则变成了 class_create()和device_create()，并且要在声明中加入

#include <linux/device.h> 

因为定义这些函数是在linux4.4.0/include/linux/device.h里面！
在first_drv_init（）和first_drv_exit（）函数中把class_device_create（）、
class_device_unregister（）函数修改为device_create（）和device_unregister（）后，error消失了，但还是有如下warning：

/home/ubuntu/Documents/first_drv/firstdrv.c:50:21: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

原因是

static struct class_device *firstdrv_class_dev;

这个结构体指针变量的声明也要进行修改，改为

static struct device *firstdrv_class_dev;

完成上述修改后，编译ok啦
