Actually, I added mdev_get_drvdata() and mdev_set_drvdata() but I missed
earlier that mdev->dev->driver_data is used by vfio module to keep
reference of vfio_device. So adding driver_data to struct mdev_device
again and updating mdev_get_drvdata() and mdev_set_drvdata() as below.

 static inline void *mdev_get_drvdata(struct mdev_device *mdev)
 {
-       return dev_get_drvdata(&mdev->dev);
+       return mdev->driver_data;
 }

 static inline void mdev_set_drvdata(struct mdev_device *mdev, void *data)
 {
-       dev_set_drvdata(&mdev->dev, data);
+       mdev->driver_data = data;
 }

Updating argument to create to have mdev.

Thanks,
