Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

If compiled into the kernel, parport_register_driver() is called before the
parport driver has been initalised.
This means that it is expected that tp_count is 0 after the
parport_register_driver() call() - tipar's attach function will not be
called until later during bootup.

- tipar_open(): fix unsigned comparison
- tipar_open(): don't permit NULL pardevice (probably unneeded given the
above fix).
- tipar_init_module(): handle the situation where parport_register_driver()
failed to register any devices (parport_register_driver() drops the ->attach
return value on the floor).
This probably makes fixes#1 and #2 unneeded.
- tipar_init_module(): fix various error-path resource leaks.

The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create(). This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

In the setup function, the delay variable is initialized with ints[2],
but ints is declared as:
int ints[2];
Since the module parameter should correspond to:
tipar=timeout,delay
I suppose that the following patch fix the problem.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
