Linux Kernel设备驱动模型之struct device_private

设备私有数据描述：

/**
 * struct device_private - structure to hold the private to the driver core portions of the device structure.
 *
 * @klist_children - klist containing all children of this device
 * @knode_parent - node in sibling list
 * @knode_driver - node in driver list
 * @knode_bus - node in bus list
 * @deferred_probe - entry in deferred_probe_list which is used to retry the
 * binding of drivers which were unable to get all the resources needed by
 * the device; typically because it depends on another driver getting
 * probed first.
 * @device - pointer back to the struct device that this structure is
 * associated with.
 *
 * Nothing outside of the driver core should ever touch these fields.
