/// For subsystems it is recommended to create a permanent instance to wrap into a subsystem
/// specific device structure (e.g. `pci::Device`). This is useful for passing it to drivers in
/// `T::probe()`, such that a driver can store the `ARef<Device>` (equivalent to storing a
/// `struct device` pointer in a C driver) for arbitrary purposes, e.g. allocating DMA coherent
/// memory.

/// A `Device` instance represents a valid `struct device` created by the C portion of the kernel.

/// that the allocation remains valid at least until the matching call to `put_device`.
///
/// `bindings::device::release` is valid to be called from any thread, hence `ARef<Device>` can be
/// dropped from any thread.
