Sure, will do. Btw, I have a question w.r.t the match function.

We have :


class_find_device(struct class *class, struct device *start,
                   const void *data,
                   int (*match)(struct device *, const void *))
and

bus_find_device(struct bus_type *bus,
                 struct device *start, void *data,
                 int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data))

Just because the "match" has slightly different constraint for the
data (i.e, const void * vs void *), we can't reuse the same match
function for class_find_device. Do you think we should converge the
types to reuse the same match every where (Of course in a separate
patch series) ?
