Since commit58d9a38f6f("PCI: Skip attaching driver in device_add()"), PCI enumeration is split into two steps: In the first step, all devices are published in sysfs with device_add(). In the second step, drivers are bound to the devices with device_attach(). To delay driver binding until the second step, a "bool match_driver" in struct pci_dev is used. Instead of a bool, use a bit in the "unsigned long priv_flags" to shrink struct pci_dev a little and prevent use of the bool outside the PCI core (as has happened with commitcbbc00be2c("iommu/amd: Prevent binding other PCI drivers to IOMMU PCI devices")).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
