It may be me not reading well, but I think you didn't define
the fact that io_bus is a superset of device. In fact, it's
just a device that has childs, and this should probably be
more generically viewed in struct device itself. Any device
should be able to have childs, so we really have 2 interleaved
trees of devices, the bus tree and the power tree. In fact,
to be complete, we could even define the interrupt tree with
one more set of links as it's really not related to the bus
tree on many archs/machines, and having a tree definition
is really useful when you deal with cascaded controllers.
What do you think ?
Ben.
