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 by initializing its fields. It is the first half of device_register, if called by that function, though it can also be called separately, so one may use dev's fields. In particular, get_device/put_device may be used for reference counting of dev after calling this function.

NOTE

Use put_device to give up your reference instead of freeing dev directly once you have called this function.
