Yes I was looking at this thing yesterday (uc_list). But this list serves to different purpose. Do you think that it will be correct to use it for this? I would maybe like to make a new list similar to this for our purpose (say addr_list). I think it would be more correct. Eventually in the furute we would use this list as a primary place to store device address instead of dev_addr value and make it more general (as device generally may have more adresses).
