I don't know and maybe this is how modern drivers are developed now, but my
laptop doesn't have anything driver and vendor specific related under plain
/sys/kernel/* directory.

Also it is very uncommon in large subsystems to see custom sysfs entries
for the specific driver. I wonder why this dw-xdata-pcie driver is different.

Thanks
