Drivers are not allowed to use static data since they may be used in SPL where BSS is not available.
It is possible that driver model may provide support for numbering devices in the future. But for now, move this to global_data.
Can we add such functionality in driver model now? I feel a little bit odd to add a device number in the global data.
