76 * @drv: driver to register
78 * We pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver() call,

98 * Again, we pass off most of the work to the bus-level call.
100 * Though, once that is done, we attempt to take @drv->unload_sem.
101 * This will block until the driver refcount reaches 0, and it is
102 * released. Only modular drivers will call this function, and we
103 * have to guarantee that it won't complete, letting the driver
104 * unload until all references are gone.

116 * @name: name of the driver.
117 * @bus: bus to scan for the driver.
119 * Call kset_find_obj() to iterate over list of drivers on
120 * a bus to find driver by name. Return driver if found.
122 * Note that kset_find_obj increments driver's reference count.
