+/**
+ * struct nfp_cpp - main nfpcore device structure
+ * Following fields are read-only after probe() exits or netdevs are spawned.
+ * @dev:               embedded device structure
+ * @op:                        low-level implementation ops
+ * @priv:              private data of the low-level implementation
+ * @model:             chip model
+ * @interface:         chip interface id we are using to reach it
+ * @serial:            chip serial number
+ * @imb_cat_table:     CPP Mapping Table
+ *
+ * Following fields can be used only in probe() or with rtnl held:
+ * @hwinfo:            HWInfo database fetched from the device
+ * @rtsym:             firmware run time symbols
+ *
+ * Following fields use explicit locking:
+ * @resource_list:     NFP CPP resource list
+ * @resource_lock:     protects @resource_list
+ *
+ * @area_cache_list:   cached areas for cpp/xpb read/write speed up
+ * @area_cache_mutex:  protects @area_cache_list
+ *
+ * @waitq:             area wait queue
