NAME
       device_initialize - init device structure.

SYNOPSIS
       void device_initialize(struct device * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   device.

DESCRIPTION
       This prepares the device for use by other layers by initializing its
       fields. It is the first half of device_register, if called by that
       function, though it can also be called separately, so one may use dev´s
       fields. In particular, get_device/put_device may be used for reference
       counting of dev after calling this function.

NOTE
       Use put_device to give up your reference instead of freeing dev
       directly once you have called this function.
