Subject: [PATCH v7 0/1] PCI/sysfs: Expose PCIe device serial number

Hi Bjorn,
It looks like this missed the cutoff for 6.17; do you have any objections for the patch
or do you think including it in 6.18 is feasible?

----

Add a single sysfs read-only, admin-only interface for reading PCIe device
serial numbers from userspace, using the same hexadecimal 1-byte dashed
formatting as lspci serial number capability output:

    sudo cat /sys/devices/pci0000:c0/0000:c0:01.1/0000:c1:00.0/0000:c2:1f.0/0000:ef:00.0/serial_number
    00-80-ee-00-00-00-41-80

If a device doesn't support the serial number capability, the
serial_number sysfs attribute will not be visible.

Comparing serial number format to lspci output:

    sudo lspci -vvv -s ef:00.0
        ef:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI PCIe Switch management endpoint (rev b0)
            Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI Device 0144
            ...
            Capabilities: [100 v1] Device Serial Number 00-80-ee-00-00-00-41-80
            ...

This PCIe device sysfs attribute eliminates the need for parsing lspci
output (e.g. regexp) for userspace applications that utilize serial
numbers.

v7:
  Updated docs to change kernel introduction date to December 2025 (6.18)
