 When a bus driver is initialized, it calls bus_register. This
 initializes the rest of the fields in the bus object and inserts it
 into a global list of bus types. Once the bus object is registered,

 Callbacks

 iterated over, and the match callback is called for each device that

-add(): Adding a child device
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The add callback is available to notify the bus about a child device
-at a particular location. 
-
-The parent parameter is the parent device of the child to be added. If
-parent == NULL, the bus should add the device as a child of a default
-parent device or as a child of the root. This policy decision is up to
-the bus driver.
-
-The format of the bus_id field should be consistent with the format of
-the bus_id field of the rest of the devices on the bus. This requires
-the caller to know the format.
-
-On return, the bus driver should return a pointer to the device that
-was created. If the device was not created, the bus driver should
-return an appropriate error code. Refer to include/linux/err.h for
-helper functions to encode errors. Some sample code:
-
-struct device * pci_bus_add(struct device * parent, char * bus_id)
-{
-	...
-	/* the device already exists */
-	return ERR_PTR(-EEXIST);
-	...
-}
-
-The caller can check the return value using IS_ERR():
-
-    struct device * newdev = pci_bus_type.add(parent,bus_id);
