这三个结构层层相扣 组成了linux的kernel<-bus<-drivers<-devices层次结构

int bus_register(struct bus_type *bus)

void bus_unregister(struct bus_type *bus)

向kernel注册/注销总线

int bus_add_driver(struct device_driver *drv)

void bus_remove_driver(struct device_driver *drv)

向总线添加/删除设备驱动

int device_register(struct device *dev)

void device_unregister(struct device *dev)

向设备驱动注册/注销设备

int bus_add_device(struct device *dev)

void bus_remove_device(struct device *dev)

向总线添加/删除设备

这些函数都是操作kset、kobject对象的，从而将bus, device driver, devices串联起来
