+ * device_find_child - device iterator for locating a particular device.
+ * @parent: parent struct device
+ * @data: Data to pass to match function
+ * @match: Callback function to check device
+ *
+ * This is similar to the device_for_each_child() function above, but it
+ * returns a reference to a device that is 'found' for later use, as
+ * determined by the @match callback.
+ *
+ * The callback should return 0 if the device doesn't match and non-zero
+ * if it does.  If the callback returns non-zero and a reference to the
+ * current device can be obtained, this function will return to the caller
+ * and not iterate over any more devices.
