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.

What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../numa_node Date: June 2020 Contact: Barry Song song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com 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/.../msi_irqs/ Date: August 2021 Contact: Barry Song song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com Description: The /sys/devices/.../msi_irqs directory contains a variable set of files, with each file being named after a corresponding msi irq vector allocated to that device.

What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../msi_irqs/ Date: August 2021 Contact: Barry Song song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com Description: This attribute will show "msi" if is a valid msi irq

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`
