[PATCH 2/3] fixup! Rename struct device_d to device

  - Out-of-tree patches often add a board driver, which may use the
    old device_d/driver_d naming. Especially with bisecting, this can
    be a hassle

  - We may split up some parts of struct device into a new
    struct platform_device like Linux does and we don't want
    to break out of tree patches twice.

Thus add the old names as aliases for now.
