This article is from 2012. That's not really recommended best practices
anymore. device_links have only been added a few years ago, so ofc an
article from 2012 can't tell you that you should use those instead :-)

That's why I brought this up, we have much better ways to handle device
dependencies now.

Also, you still haven't explained what exactly the dependency is.
