| What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../driver_override |
| Date: April 2014 |
| Contact: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> |
| Description: |
| This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which |
| will override standard OF, ACPI, ID table, and name matching. |
| When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value |
| written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind |
| to the device. The override is specified by writing a string |
| to the driver_override file (echo vfio-platform > \ |
| driver_override) and may be cleared with an empty string |
| (echo > driver_override). This returns the device to standard |
| matching rules binding. Writing to driver_override does not |
| automatically unbind the device from its current driver or make |
| any attempt to automatically load the specified driver. If no |
| driver with a matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, |
| the device will not bind to any driver. This also allows |
| devices to opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override |
| name such as "none". Only a single driver may be specified in |
| the override, there is no support for parsing delimiters. |

| Description: |
| This file contains the NUMA node to which the platform device |
| is attached. It won't be visible if the node is unknown. The |
| value comes from an ACPI _PXM method or a similar firmware |
| source. Initial users for this file would be devices like |
| arm smmu which are populated by arm64 acpi_iort. |

| What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../modalias |
| Description: |
| Same as MODALIAS in the uevent at device creation. |
| |
| A platform device that it is exposed via devicetree uses: |
| |
| - of:N`of node name`T`type` |
| |
| Other platform devices use, instead: |
| |
| - platform:`driver name` |
