Use devcom to communicate between the different devices. Add a new devcom component type for this. Each device registers itself to the devcom component <SD, group ID>. Once all devices of a component are registered, the component becomes ready, and a primary device is elected. In principle, any of the devices can act as a primary, they are all capable, and a random election would've worked. However, we aim to achieve predictability and consistency, hence each group always choses the same device, with the lowest PCI BUS number, as primary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
