NAME
       i2o_device_claim_release - release a device that the OSM is using

SYNOPSIS
       int i2o_device_claim_release(struct i2o_device * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   device to release

DESCRIPTION
       Drop a claim by an OSM on a given I2O device.

       AC - some devices seem to want to refuse an unclaim until they have finished internal processing. It makes sense since you don't want a new
       device to go reconfiguring the entire system until you are done. Thus we are prepared to wait briefly.

       Returns 0 on success or negative error code on failure.
