The above functions seem to be called with the lock of this auto-generated
mdev parent device held. That's why we don't have to care about synchronization

A small comment in the code could be helpful for mdev non-experts. Hell, I would
even consider documenting it for all mdev -- took me some time to figure out.

What is this for? I don't understand.
