+5. RapidIO Bus Attributes
+-------------------------
+
+RapidIO bus subdirectory /sys/bus/rapidio implements the following bus-specific
+attribute:
+
+  scan - allows to trigger enumeration discovery process from user space. This
+         is a write-only attribute. To initiate an enumeration or discovery
+         process on specific mport device, a user needs to write mport_ID (not
+         RapidIO destination ID) into this file. The mport_ID is a sequential
+         number (0 ... RIO_MAX_MPORTS) assigned to the mport device.
+         For example, for a machine with a single RapidIO controller, mport_ID
+         for that controller always will be 0.
+         To initiate RapidIO enumeration/discovery on all available mports
+         a user must write '-1' (or RIO_MPORT_ANY) into this attribute file.
