well, I've just added 'saa_if.c saa_if.m' to SRCS, and defined two
targets:
.m.h:
	awk -f @/tools/makeobjops.awk ${.ALLSRC} -h
.m.c:
	awk -f @tools/makeobjops.awk ${.ALLSRC} -c

and now it works.

I would also like to thank you for tip to call device_add_child
manually, after that my subdriver automatically found the device to
probe.

I think it will be a small article, with skeleton of bus device driver
and skeleton of driver for device on that bus, since that is really easy
once you know how.

Thanks!
