* This function returns a reference to a device that is 'found'
* for later use, as determined by the @match callback.
*
+ * The reference returned should be released with put_device().
+ *
* The callback should return 0 if the device doesn't match and non-zero
* if it does. If the callback returns non-zero, this function will
* return to the caller and not iterate over any more devices.
