I'm not familiar enough with the Object hierarchy to know if there is
any significant runtime cost to CHARDEV_GET_CLASS() that would warrant
capturing the output in a temporary variable, or if it is simple enough
that a compiler can already figure out that it is a reusable value
rather than computing it twice.  Probably not worrying about, though,
unless it actually shows up in a hot spot on a trace.

char_get_class("tty", NULL) will fail, because that's merely an alias
name rather than the canonical "serial" name. Will that matter to any of
the code? I didn't spot anything, so I'm not letting it stop my review.
