/**
 * DOC: Driver system flows - drv component
 *
 * This component implements the system flows such as bus enumeration, bus
 * removal. Bus dependent parts of system flows (such as iwl_pci_probe) are in
 * bus specific files (transport files). This is the code that is common among
 * different buses.
 *
 * This component is also in charge of managing the several implementations of
 * the wifi flows: it will allow to have several fw API implementation. These
 * different implementations will differ in the way they implement mac80211's
 * handlers too.

 * The init flow wrt to the drv component looks like this:
 * 1) The bus specific component is called from module_init
 * 2) The bus specific component registers the bus driver
 * 3) The bus driver calls the probe function
 * 4) The bus specific component configures the bus
 * 5) The bus specific component calls to the drv bus agnostic part
 *    (iwl_drv_start)
 * 6) iwl_drv_start fetches the fw ASYNC, iwl_ucode_callback
 * 7) iwl_ucode_callback parses the fw file
 * 8) iwl_ucode_callback starts the wifi implementation to matches the fw
