Or how a particular > device's presence on PCI bus is detected. That How does probe work depends on particular driver. To be brief, driver will does some initial work for devices, like setting up register or registering device node on file system. For instance, touch panel driver need to register an event node under /dev/input. You can read the driver code for specific implementation of probe.
