dip
A pointer to the device's dev_info structure.
ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() return the driver binding name.
This is the name used to select a driver for the device. This name is
typically derived from the device name property or the device
compatible property. The name returned may be a driver alias or the
driver name.
ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() return the name used to bind a
driver to a device.
ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() can be called from user,
kernel, or interrupt context.
