This is intended to be used to link between devices. An OF implementation
would probably use a phandle. I may rename to device/object to clarify.
The ESP DMA bits where we pass function pointers are a temporary hack, and
should go away.

I guess I'll either use an informative suffix (like OF/FDT), or have separate
type and instance name.
