Yes, this I mean. The example like this:

```c
major = register_chrdev(0, xx, xx);
class = class_create("bcachefs");
if (IS_ERR(class))
goto out_chrdev:

...
out_class:
class_unregister(xxx);
out_chrdev:
unregister_chrdev(xx, xx);
...
```

Although this was not part of your original intention, it is indeed a flaw.
