Hello,
I wanted to get a few things clarified in relation to the aforementioned project in the subject.
The description of the project states that some drivers define their own copies of PCI_COMMAND, PCI_STATUS, etc.
If we remove these definitions,
then for the driver to work it has to include "include/uapi/linux/pci_regs.h",
so should we also add the include statement in the driver source code or it is already included by some other way.
Kindly help me resolve this confusion as I am a beginner at this.
If the question sounds wrong or lame, please forgive me.
I want to work on this project as a part of the Linux kernel mentorship program.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I know we are not supposed to work on these projects right now.
While reading through the projects page, I found this one interesting and
out of curiosity wanted to know how it will work.
Thanks,
