PCI device init?

[Medeiros Edward M NPRI <MedeirosEM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I am looking at the accompanying code to the book "Linux Device Drivers, 3^rd edition". The file is "pci_skel.c".  My question is how does the "pci_skel_init()" function get called?  Is it called automatically by the kernel when the driver module gets loaded?

 

Thank you
