the address of pdev is printed to user space.
int
mpt_suspend(struct pci_dev *pdev, pm_message_t state)
{
    ...
    printk(MYIOC_s_INFO_FMT "pci-suspend: pdev=0x%p, slot=%s, Entering "
        "operating state [D%d]\n", ioc->name, pdev, pci_name(pdev),
        device_state);
    ...
}

In drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c:2191,
mpt_resume will dump the address of dev into dmesg,

    seq_printf(m, "  RequestFrames @ 0x%p (Dma @ 0x%p)\n",
                    (void *)ioc->req_frames, (void
