I guess it depends on how you read it. I always considered it separate because none (?) of the bus implementation assert this in comments to XXX_get_drvdata(). > > > in the future, so I'd prefer keep using the proper accessors for the > > objects we are dealing with. > > Exactly.

No, the driver does not create a generic device, it actually creates a platform device, or i2c client, or spi, or something else. The fact that suspend and resume routines have generic device as their argument has more to do with the language limitation rather than reflection of true type of the objects we are dealing with.
