What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../bind
Date: December 2003
Contact: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device location to this file will cause
the driver to attempt to bind to the device found at
this location. This is useful for overriding default
bindings. The format for the location is: DDDD:BB:DD.F.
That is Domain:Bus:Device.Function and is the same as
found in /sys/bus/pci/devices/. For example:
# echo 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/bind
(Note: kernels before 2.6.28 may require echo -n).
What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../unbind

Description:
Writing a device location to this file will cause the
driver to attempt to unbind from the device found at
this location. This may be useful when overriding default
bindings. The format for the location is: DDDD:BB:DD.F.
That is Domain:Bus:Device.Function and is the same as
found in /sys/bus/pci/devices/. For example:
# echo 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/unbind
(Note: kernels before 2.6.28 may require echo -n).
What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../new_id
Date: December 2003
Contact: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
dynamically add a new device ID to a PCI device driver.
This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM PPPP. That is Vendor ID,
Device ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID,
Class, Class Mask, and Private Driver Data. The Vendor ID
and Device ID fields are required, the rest are optional.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/new_id
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../vpd
Date: February 2008
Contact: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
Description:
A file named vpd in a device directory will be a
binary file containing the Vital Product Data for the
device. It should follow the VPD format defined in
PCI Specification 2.1 or 2.2, but users should consider
that some devices may have malformatted data. If the
underlying VPD has a writable section then the
corresponding section of this file will be writable.
