In the face of it, what is the issue with forward declarations of device
and resource structures? device.h is supposed to be about Linux device
model, not hardware. You would not want all devm_* functions to go into
device.h (clock, regulator, input, rtc, hwmon, etc, etc devm API),
right? Why would we want ioport there?

Thanks.
