.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
For the cases where the caller needs to wait for all references to
be dropped from the device before continuing (e.g. modules with
statically allocated devices), this function uses a completion struct
to wait, along with a matching \fBcomplete\fR in \fBdevice_release\fR above.
