This is only done once, we don't need to generate code to initialize a structure stored in the ELF .data segment. Fill in the three required .driver members directly instead of copying data into them during mdev_register_driver(). Further the to_mdev_driver() function doesn't belong in a public header, just inline it into the two places that need it. Finally, we can now clearly see that 'drv' derived from dev->driver cannot be NULL, firstly because the driver core forbids it, and secondly because NULL won't pass through the container_of(). Remove the dead code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
