device結構體：設備驅動模型中的基礎結構體之一

struct device {

　　/*設備所依附的父設備

　　大多數情況下，這樣的設備是某種總線或主控制器

　　如果該成員變量的值為NULL，表示當前設備是一個最頂端設備，通常這樣的設備都不是你想得到的那個*/

　　struct device *parent;

　　struct device_private *p;

　　struct kobject kobj;
　　const char *init_name; /* initial name of the device */
　　const struct device_type *type;

　　struct mutex mutex; /* mutex to synchronize calls to its driver.*/

　　struct bus_type *bus; /* type of bus device is on */
　　struct device_driver *driver; /* which driver has allocated this device */
　　void *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device core doesn‘t touch it */
　　 struct dev_pm_info power;

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
　　int numa_node; /* NUMA node this device is close to */
#endif
　　u64 *dma_mask; /* dma mask (if dma‘able device) */
　　u64 coherent_dma_mask;/* Like dma_mask, but for alloc_coherent mappings as not all hardware supports
64 bit addresses for consistent allocations such descriptors. */

　　struct device_dma_parameters *dma_parms;

　　struct list_head dma_pools; /* dma pools (if dma‘ble) */
