device_initialize(9)
NAME
device_initialize - init device structure.
SYNOPSIS
void device_initialize(struct device * dev);
ARGUMENTS
- dev
- device.
DESCRIPTION
This prepares the device for use by other layers, including adding it
to the device hierarchy. It is the first half of device_register, if
called by that, though it can also be called separately, so one may use
devīs fields (e.g. the refcount).
