drivers: remove struct module * setting from struct class

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the
registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the
explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded.

This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going
forward.
