transport_setup_devi(9)
NAME
transport_setup_device - declare a new dev for transport class
association but don't make it visible yet.
SYNOPSIS
void transport_setup_device(struct device * dev);
ARGUMENTS
- dev
- the generic device representing the entity being added
DESCRIPTION
Usually, dev represents some component in the HBA system (either the
HBA itself or a device remote across the HBA bus). This routine is
simply a trigger point to see if any set of transport classes wishes to
associate with the added device. This allocates storage for the class
device and initialises it, but does not yet add it to the system or add
attributes to it (you do this with transport_add_device). If you have
no need for a separate setup and add operations, use
transport_register_device (see transport_class.h).
