I've tested this and can confirm it works.  dvb_class will be set too late

NULL, this runs dvb_init using subsys_initcall instead of module_init.

dvb_register_device will now check the return value of class_device_create.
All the printks had missing level prefixes so I've fixed these too.

Probably better to make this a separate patch, since it's not related.

-               printk ("%s: could get find free device id...\n", __FUNCTION__);
+               printk(KERN_ERR "%s: could get find free device id...\n", 
__FUNCTION__);

"couldn't find free device id"

If it's ok with you, I'll import your patch as two seperate patches with
the spelling errors fixed?

That's fine with me.

+       dprintk(KERN_DEBUG "DVB: register adapter%d/%s%d @ minor: %i 
(0x%02x)\n",
                adap->num, dnames[type], id, nums2minor(adap->num, type, id),
                nums2minor(adap->num, type, id));

The dvb-core dvbdev_debug parameter does nothing but turn on this one
single dprintk.  I'm tempted to just delete it.

Just always output that information, or remove it? (I have it enabled, although I'm not sure if there's any point).
