s/by its type invariant/by the type invariants of `Self`,/
s/always//

Also, which invariant does this refer to? The only one that I can see
is:

    /// A [`Device`] instance represents a valid `struct device` created by the C portion of the kernel.

And this doesn't say anything about the validity of `self.as_raw()`...

Ditto here.
