Zephyr device driver model

Excerpt from Zephyr project drivers documentation:

Driver Data Structures The device initialization macros populate some data structures at build time which are split into read-only and runtime-mutable parts. At a high level we have:

 struct device {
      const char *name;
      const void *config;
      const void *api;
      void * const data;
 };

Excerpt from file ~/ncs/zephyr/include/drivers/sensor.h:

382 /**
383  * @brief Set an attribute for a sensor
384  *
385  * @param dev Pointer to the sensor device
386  * @param chan The channel the attribute belongs to, if any.  Some
387  * attributes may only be set for all channels of a device, depending on
388  * device capabilities.
389  * @param attr The attribute to set
390  * @param val The value to set the attribute to
391  *
392  * @return 0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.
