Small nit: Hardware connected to a fieldbus comes in two distinct flavours: - clients (e.g. thermometer, robotic arm) called "fieldbus devices" - servers (e.g. a PLC) called "fieldbus controllers" Their userspace APIs will probably differ quite a lot. The userspace API created by the patch is only for clients a.k.a. "fieldbus devices". That's why I'm writing 'fieldbus_dev' all over the place. For simplicity, we could change that to just 'fieldbus'. But would this get us in trouble when, at some point, we want to add a userspace API for servers a.k.a. "fieldbus controllers" ?
