Where do the vendor and device names in /proc/pci come from? When I do "cat /proc/pci", I see something like this:
Bus 1, device 31, function 0:
PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82870P2 P64H2 Hub PCI Bridge (#2) (rev 4).
Master Capable. Latency=40. Min Gnt=34.
Bus 3, device 1, function 0:
Co-processor: PCI device 18b8:b001 (rev 1).
IRQ 48.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=64.Our hardware is 18b8:b001. Why is it that our company and product name don't show up in that entry, but Intel's does?
My theory is that it's because we're not in drivers/pci/pci.ids when the kernel was compiled. Is that so? Someone told me that there was a call-back function that we can implement in our driver which would provide the textual name whenever someone tries to read /proc/pci, but I can't find any information on that.
