10 struct device * start, void * data,
11 int (*match) (struct device *, void *));
12
14 class
15 the class we´re iterating
16
17 start
18 Device to begin with
19
20 data
21 data for the match function
22
23 match
24 function to check device
25
27 This is similar to the class_for_each_dev function above, but it
28 returns a reference to a device that is ´found´ for later use, as
29 determined by the match callback.
30
31 The callback should return 0 if the device doesn´t match and non-zero
32 if it does. If the callback returns non-zero, this function will return
33 to the caller and not iterate over any more devices.
34
35 Note, you will need to drop the reference with put_device after use.
36
37 fn is allowed to do anything including calling back into class code.
38 There´s no locking restriction.
