okay.

Actually, i ever considered solution B as you suggested in the end.

For this change, namely, solution A:
1) this change is clearer and easier to understand.
2) this change does not touch any existing cxld logic

For solution B:
it is more reasonable

i finally select A since it can express my concern and relevant solution
clearly.

i have given up the idea within v1 to introduce a new API which *should
ONLY* be used by this patch series, so it is not worthy of a new API
even if it can bring convenient for this patch series.

it is reasonable.

do you need me to submit that you suggest in the end and add you as
co-developer ?

OR

you submit it by yourself ?

either is okay for me.

get_device(dev) failure may cause different logic against existing
but i think it should be impossible to happen normally.
