I have a possibly simple or may be more involved question:
I have a PCI device that the hardware boots up and enumerates in GEN2 mode.
Once the linux device driver is loaded we can download new firmware to
the card that may reinitialize the PCIe PHY in GEN3 mode and resizing
the BARs.
We can have the device re-enumerated via user space:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
But, is it possible to do this inside the kernel device driver after it
has downloaded the new firmware instead?
Before I start trying to play with pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device
followed by pci_rescan_bus I would like to know if what I'm trying to do
is a correct approach?
Thanks,
Scott
