From: Grant Likely <grant.lik...@secretlab.ca> bus_register_notifier_alldev() is a variation on bus_register_notifier() which also triggers the notifier callback for devices already on the bus and already bound to drivers.
This function is useful for the case where a driver needs to get a reference to a struct device other than the one it is bound to and it is not known if the device will be bound before or after this function is called. For example, an Ethernet device connected to a PHY that is probed separately.
