/**

* Device_register-register a device with the system.
* @ Dev: pointer to the device structure
*
* This happens in two clean steps-initialize the device
* And add it to the system. The two steps can be called
* Separately, but this is the easiest and most common.
* I. e. You shocould only call the two helpers separately if
* Have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device
* Before it is added to the hierarchy.
*
* Note: _ never _ directly free @ Dev after calling this function, even
* If it returned an error! Always use put_device () to give up
* Reference initialized in this function instead.
