So far a list is used to track auto-detected clients per driver. The same functionality can be achieved much simpler by flagging auto-detected clients. Two notes regarding the usage of driver_for_each_device: In our case it can't fail, however the function is annotated __must_check. So a little workaround is needed to avoid a compiler warning. Then we may remove nodes from the list over which we iterate. This is safe, see the explanation at the beginning of lib/klist.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
