-init is called during the binding stage. It is called after probe has

-class. It is responsible for initializing the hardware.
+The probe() entry is called in task context, with the bus's rwsem locked
+and the driver partially bound to the device.  Drivers commonly use
+container_of() to convert "dev" to a bus-specific type, both in probe()
+and other routines.  That type often provides device resource data, such
+as pci_dev.resource[] or platform_device.resources, which is used in
+addition to dev->platform_data to initialize the driver.
+
+This callback holds the driver-specific logic to bind the driver to a
+given device.  That includes verifying that the device is present, that
+it's a version the driver can handle, that driver data structures can
+be allocated and initialized, and that any hardware can be initialized.
+Drivers often store a pointer to their state with dev_set_drvdata().
+When the driver has successfully bound itself to that device, then probe()
+returns zero and the driver model code will finish its part of binding
+the driver to that device.
+
+A driver's probe() may return a negative errno value to indicate that
+the driver did not bind to this device, in which case it should have
+released all reasources it allocated.

+/*
+ *	klist.c - Routines for manipulating klists.
+ *
+ *
+ *	This klist interface provides a couple of structures that wrap around 
+ *	struct list_head to provide explicit list "head" (struct klist) and 
+ *	list "node" (struct klist_node) objects. For struct klist, a spinlock
+ *	is included that protects access to the actual list itself. struct 
+ *	klist_node provides a pointer to the klist that owns it and a kref
+ *	reference count that indicates the number of current users of that node
+ *	in the list.
+ *
+ *	The entire point is to provide an interface for iterating over a list
+ *	that is safe and allows for modification of the list during the
+ *	iteration (e.g. insertion and removal), including modification of the
+ *	current node on the list.
+ *
+ *	It works using a 3rd object type - struct klist_iter - that is declared
+ *	and initialized before an iteration. klist_next() is used to acquire the
+ *	next element in the list. It returns NULL if there are no more items.
+ *	Internally, that routine takes the klist's lock, decrements the reference
+ *	count of the previous klist_node and increments the count of the next
+ *	klist_node. It then drops the lock and returns.
+ *
+ *	There are primitives for adding and removing nodes to/from a klist. 
+ *	When deleting, klist_del() will simply decrement the reference count. 
+ *	Only when the count goes to 0 is the node removed from the list. 
+ *	klist_remove() will try to delete the node from the list and block
+ *	until it is actually removed. This is useful for objects (like devices)
+ *	that have been removed from the system and must be freed (but must wait
+ *	until all accessors have finished).
