What does this mean?

No, you increased memory allocation here, why do you think you reduced
it?

Also, this looks like a revert of commit f267da65bb6b ("staging: pi433:
make pi433_class constant"), accepted a few months ago, why not just
call it out as an explicit revert if that's what you want to do?

class_create is going away "soon", why add this back when people are
working so hard to remove its usage?  What tutorial did you read that
made you want to make this change?

thanks,
