Supported type attributes are defined by the + vendor driver who registers with Mediated device framework. + Each supported type is a directory whose name is created + by adding the device driver string as a prefix to the + string provided by the vendor driver. + +What: /sys/.../<device>/mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/ +Date: October 2016 +Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com> +Description: + This directory gives details of supported type, like name, + description, available_instances, device_api etc. + 'device_api' and 'available_instances' are mandatory + attributes to be provided by vendor driver.
