On a general note, I think perhaps a better way to represent this in an
API, and perhaps this would help with making the API more generic, too,
would be to make drivers request some sort of handle in .probe() and use
that handle subsequently when making requests. That's somewhat analogous
to the PM QoS' struct pm_qos_request.
