I can compile the attach lddbus.c successfully but fail to insert the module.
it is because device_register return a non-zero value.
I have also checked other driver to compare the procedure of initial
"struct device", but I cannot see the difference.

take scsi_debug.c for example:
static struct device pseudo_primary = {
        .init_name      = "pseudo_0",
        .release        = pseudo_0_release,
};

static int __init scsi_debug_init(void)
{
......
        ret = device_register(&pseudo_primary);
        if (ret < 0) {
                printk(KERN_WARNING "scsi_debug: device_register error: %d\n",
                        ret);
                goto free_vm;
        }
.....
}

is there any CONFIG in kernel i should open for fixing this problem?
