+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/<N>
+Date: August 2021
+Contact: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com>
+Description:
+ This attribute will show "msi" if <N> 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`
