arch/arm64/include/asm/device.h is identical to
include/asm-generic/device.h, and therefore the ARM64-specific version
is unnecessary. Remove it.

Do we need to add a generic-y entry to arch/arm64/include/asm/Kbuild
so that we pick up the asm-generic variant?

Hi, Will,

No, we don't, because device.h is in the list of mandatory headers in
include/asm-generic/Kbuild, which means a header including the generic
version will automatically be generated if an architecture-specific
version does not exist.

Great, thanks for the explanation. I'll pick this up.
