yeah., more dev flags :( but flags were needed for the race conditions 
when multiple devices where involved in a group, some devices would have 
completed till pdev create some might not. Some crashes were seen 
because hif_irq_disable was called for a device in a group but that 
device was not even at the stage of core register. Will check the 
possibility to  reduce the flag usage but it seemed necessary for 
multiple device group clean up.
