Documentation update for the driver model core
This patch (as1509) documents two important points regarding the use of device structures in the driver model: Structures must be initialized to all 0's before they are passed to device_initialize(). Structures must not be passed to device_add() or device_register() more than once. Although these restrictions have applied ever since the driver model was first created, they have not been mentioned anywhere.
