Hi Finn,

It is misleading to use "dev" to mean a functional resource. And
in adopting the Linux Driver Model, struct nubus_board will embed a
struct device. Drivers will then bind with boards, not with functional
resources.

Rename struct nubus_dev as struct nubus_functional_resource. This is
the vendor's terminology and avoids confusion.
Isn't "struct nubus_functional_resource" a bit long?
What about "nubus_res"? "nubus_fres"?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
