You now have 2 reference counted devices controling the lifespace of a
single structure. A mess that is guaranteed to go wrong. Please never
do this.

Why do you need an atomic and a lock?

u64?

This is not the 1990's anymore, please never use module parameters, make
these per-device attributes if you really need them.

If you have a misc device, you do not need to create a class at the same
time. Why are you doing both here? Just stick with the misc device, no
need for anything else.

Wait, you want a whole major? What is the misc device for?

MODULE_VERSION() makes no sense when the code is merged into the kernel
tree, so you can just drop that.
