+What:		/sys/bus/vdpa/driver_autoprobe
+Date:		March 2020
+Contact:	virtualization@...ts.linux-foundation.org
+Description:
+		This file determines whether new devices are immediately bound
+		to a driver after the creation. It initially contains 1, which
+		means the kernel automatically binds devices to a compatible
+		driver immediately after they are created.
+
+		Writing "0" to this file disable this feature, any other string
+		enable it.

+Description:
+		Writing a device name to this file will cause the kernel binds
+		devices to a compatible driver.
