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

22 What:		/sys/bus/platform/devices/.../numa_node
23 Date:		June 2020

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