Hm. Are we sure that `as_ref()` is really the function name we want here? We
already have AsRef<kernel::device::Device> implemented for DRM devices, I'm
not sure if this function would cause a naming conflict since it doesn't use
self but at the very least it does seem a little bit confusing.
Why not call it either from_raw(), or (depending on what RFL people think)
from_c()?
