 /**
- * nvvar_device_set - set device parameter dev.<dev>.<param>
+ * nvvar_device_dispatch - dispatch dev.<dev>.<param> name into device and parameter name
  * @name: The incoming name in the form dev.<dev>.<param>
- * val: The value <dev>.<param> should be set to
+ * @dev: The returned device_d * belonging to <dev>
+ * @pname: the parameter name
  *
- * Given a dev.<dev>.<param> string this function sets the corresponding parameter
- * in the struct device_d * named <param> to @val.
+ * Given a dev.<dev>.<param> string this function finds the device_d * belonging to
+ * <dev> and the parameter name from <param>.
  *
- * Return: 0 for success, negative error code for failure
+ * Return: When incoming string does not belong to the device namespace (does not begin
+ * with "dev." this function returns 0. A value > 0 is returned when the incoming string
+ * is in the device namespace and the string can be dispatched into a device_d * and a
+ * parameter name. A negative error code is returned when the incoming string belongs to
+ * the device namespace, but cannot be dispatched.
