Sets the detailed information for a #GstDeviceProviderClass. <note>This function is for use in _class_init functions only.</note>
Same as gst_device_provider_class_set_metadata(), but @longname, @classification, @description, and @author must be static strings or inlined strings, as they will not be copied. (GStreamer plugins will be made resident once loaded, so this function can be used even from dynamically loaded plugins.)
