well, I there is another way to do that: adding a function like this
(include/linux/device.h) :

/**
 * run a callback for each registered bus type
 *
 * @data : arg passed to callback
 * @fn : pointer to callback
 */
int for_each_bus(void *data, int (*fn)(struct bus_type *bus, void *data));

which would be similar to the already existing bus_for_each_dev() and
would allow to avoid exporting a global variable.
