Comment 3 for bug 247233

No, it's gone. It's there in the 2.6.24 headers:

# egrep -RHn class_device_create
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic/include/linux
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic/include/linux/device.h:227:extern
int __must_check class_device_create_file(struct class_device *,
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic/include/linux/device.h:294:extern
int __must_check class_device_create_bin_file(struct class_device *,
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic/include/linux/device.h:314:extern
struct class_device *class_device_create(struct class *cls,
#

and not there in the 2.6.26 headers

# egrep -RHn class_device_create
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.26-3-generic/include/linux
#

It was removed in this commit on 12 March 2008:
