It looks to me bus instead of class is the correct abstraction here since
the devices share a set of programming interface but not the semantics.
device_release() doesn't call the bus release?
What it did is:
if (dev->release)
dev->release(dev);
else if (dev->type && dev->type->release)
dev->type->release(dev);
else if (dev->class && dev->class->dev_release)
dev->class->dev_release(dev);
else
WARN(1, KERN_ERR "Device '%s' does not have a release()
function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.\n",
dev_name(dev));
So it looks not.
You have dev, type or
class to choose from. Type is rarely used and doesn't seem to be used
by vdpa, so class seems the right choice

Yes, but my understanding is class and bus are mutually exclusive. So we
can't add a class to a device which is already attached on a bus.
Thanks
