-/* Initializes 'netdev_dev' as a netdev device named 'name' of the specified
- * 'netdev_class'. This function is ordinarily called from a netdev provider's
- * 'create' function.
- *
- * 'args' should be the arguments that were passed to the netdev provider's
- * 'create'. If an empty set of arguments was passed, and 'name' is the name
- * of a network device that existed before the 'create' call, then 'args' may
- * instead be the configuration for that existing device.
- *
- * This function adds 'netdev_dev' to a netdev-owned shash, so it is
- * very important that 'netdev_dev' only be freed after calling
- * the refcount drops to zero. */
