It is + removed once a device probes successfully (because the + information is no longer relevant). The number read from it (0 + or 1) reflects whether the device is waiting for one or more + suppliers to be added and then linked to using device links + before the device can probe. + + A value of 0 means the device is not waiting for any suppliers + to be added before it can probe. A value of 1 means the device + is waiting for one or more suppliers to be added before it can + probe. |
