Description:
This file contains the revision field of the the PCI device.
The value comes from device config space. The file is read only.

+What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_drivers_autoprobe

+Description:
+ This file is associated with the PF of a device that
+ supports SR-IOV. It determines whether newly-enabled VFs
+ are immediately bound to a driver. It initially contains
+ 1, which means the kernel automatically binds VFs to a
+ compatible driver immediately after they are enabled. If
+ an application writes 0 to the file before enabling VFs,
+ the kernel will not bind VFs to a driver.
+
+ A typical use case is to write 0 to this file, then enable
+ VFs, then assign the newly-created VFs to virtual machines.
+ Note that changing this file does not affect already-
+ enabled VFs. In this scenario, the user must first disable
+ the VFs, write 0 to sriov_drivers_autoprobe, then re-enable
+ the VFs.
+
+ This is similar to /sys/bus/pci/drivers_autoprobe, but
+ affects only the VFs associated with a specific PF.
