So this is fine and I've pulled it, but I have to say that I
absolutely detest how this device.h header keeps just growing
endlessly:
[torvalds@linux]$ wc include/linux/device.h
1921 8252 66021 include/linux/device.h
that's almost 2k of header file, and it's included a _lot_:
[torvalds@linux]$ git grep include.*linux/device.h | wc
2518 5085 144875
and many of those includes are actually from other core header files,
so it's effectively included from even more trees.
Yes, yes, many of those 2k lines are comments. But still... Do we
really want to have that humongous 65kB, 2kloc header file, and keep
growing it forever?
