-Fields 
-~~~~~~
-g_list:        Node in the global device list.
-
-node:  Node in device's parent's children list.
-
-bus_list: Node in device's bus's devices list.
-
-driver_list:   Node in device's driver's devices list.
-
-intf_list:     List of intf_data. There is one structure allocated for
-              each interface that the device supports.
-
-children:      List of child devices.
-
-parent:        *** FIXME ***
-
-name:         ASCII description of device. 
-              Example: " 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang]"
-
-bus_id:               ASCII representation of device's bus position. This 
-              field should be a name unique across all devices on the
-              bus type the device belongs to. 
-
-              Example: PCI bus_ids are in the form of
-              <bus number>:<slot number>.<function number> 
-              This name is unique across all PCI devices in the system.
-
-lock:         Spinlock for the device. 
-
-refcount:      Reference count on the device.
-
-bus:          Pointer to struct bus_type that device belongs to.
-
-dir:          Device's sysfs directory.
-
-class_num:     Class-enumerated value of the device.
-
-driver:               Pointer to struct device_driver that controls the device.
-
-driver_data:   Driver-specific data.
-
-platform_data: Platform data specific to the device.
-
-              Example:  for devices on custom boards, as typical of embedded
-              and SOC based hardware, Linux often uses platform_data to point
-              to board-specific structures describing devices and how they
-              are wired.  That can include what ports are available, chip
-              variants, which GPIO pins act in what additional roles, and so
-              on.  This shrinks the "Board Support Packages" (BSPs) and
-              minimizes board-specific #ifdefs in drivers.
-
-current_state: Current power state of the device.
-
-saved_state:   Pointer to saved state of the device. This is usable by
-              the device driver controlling the device.
-
-release:       Callback to free the device after all references have 
-              gone away. This should be set by the allocator of the 
-              device (i.e. the bus driver that discovered the device).
