Instead of doing two step process to add char device and create underlying device, use cdev_device_add() which does both. Currently a kobject per uverbs_device is created to keep reference to its holding ib_uverbs_device in addition to its underlying device 'dev'. Instead just use uverbs_device->dev to keep a reference to. With this change there is single reference tracker for ib_uverbs_device structure. This allows for subsequent patch to registers group attribute as well using single API cdev_device_add().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
