again (only when offline). This is a generic ccwgroup mechanism (the driver does
not need to implement anything beyond normal removal routines).
A ccw device which is a member of a ccwgroup device carries a pointer to the
ccwgroup device in the driver_data of its device struct. This field must not be
touched by the driver - it should use the ccwgroup device's driver_data for its
private data.
To implement a ccwgroup driver, please refer to include/asm/ccwgroup.h. Keep in
mind that most drivers will need to implement both a ccwgroup and a ccw driver
(unless you have a meta ccw driver, like cu3088 for lcs and ctc).
