6   Usually, dev represents some component in the HBA system (either
7   the HBA itself or a device remote across the HBA bus).  This
8   routine is simply a trigger point to see if any set of transport
9   classes wishes to associate with the added device.  This allocates
10   storage for the class device and initialises it, but does not yet
11   add it to the system or add attributes to it (you do this with
12   transport_add_device).  If you have no need for a separate setup
13   and add operations, use transport_register_device (see
14   transport_class.h).
