When you wrote ' lightweight devices', you probably intent to say,
'multiple class of devices such as rdma, netdev etc for a single underlying parent device'.

'struct class' has clear meaning in kernel with above two examples and more.
Though it's not limited to these two classes, an example is always better. :-)

If so, please word that say, that avoids the confusion and it will be aligned to below primary purpose description.
