A PON device attaches to three kinds of network device: the ethernet device whose rings carry its frames (the conduit), its data network device and the GEM network devices that stack on the data network device. Give struct net_device the pointer, beside the other subsystem pointers, as an RCU pointer under CONFIG_PON. Nothing sets the pointer yet. The PON core and its accessor, netdev_uses_pon(), follow.
