external driver and struct device

["Ramagudi Naziir" <naziirr@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello all,

i am writing an external driver (not in-tree) and many kernel APIs
need a struct device.

for example - clock API and DMA API...

so how can I have it ? I currently don't have a probe function that
gives me a device
pointer...

should I "fake" a device ?

or maybe I better register a probe function using platform_driver_register ?

thank you
naziir
