DEVICE_FIND_CHILD(9)					   Device drivers infrastructure				      DEVICE_FIND_CHILD(9)

NAME
       device_find_child - device iterator for locating a particular device.

SYNOPSIS
       struct device * device_find_child(struct device * parent, void * data, int (*match) (struct device *dev, void *data));

ARGUMENTS
       parent
	   parent struct device

       data
	   Data to pass to match function

       match
	   Callback function to check device

DESCRIPTION
       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.
