PCI: add some sysfs ABI docs
Add sysfs ABI docs for driver entries bind, unbind and new_id. These
entries are pretty old, from 2.6.0 onwards AFAIK, so this documents
current behaviour.

30 | Description: | ||
31 | Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to | ||
32 | dynamically add a new device ID to a PCI device driver. | ||
33 | This may allow the driver to support more hardware than | ||
34 | was included in the driver's static device ID support | ||
35 | table at compile time. The format for the device ID is: | ||
36 | VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM PPPP. That is Vendor ID, | ||
37 | Device ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, | ||
38 | Class, Class Mask, and Private Driver Data. The Vendor ID | ||
39 | and Device ID fields are required, the rest are optional. | ||
40 | Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe | ||
41 | for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example: | ||
42 | # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/new_id | ||
