This should just be merged into the first device_create call (i.e.
drop the first one, keep your loop, but have "i" start at 0). There's
no reason that I can see to do it separately.

Was the device_destroy() for /dev/pmsg0 missing before? (i.e. does
class_destroy() or unregister_chrdev() already clean up the devices?)
