Driver Names

Driver names in the Driver Framework must follow the following conventions, in this order:

1. driver vendor name

2. bottom interface used by driver

3. chip supported by driver

4. top interface used by driver

For example:

sun:bus-ns16550-uart
sun:pci-cheerio-ether

where "sun" is the vendor name, "bus" and "pci" are the bottom interfaces used, "ns16550" and "cheerio" are the chips supported, and "uart" and "ether" are the top interfaces.

In the case of a driver providing several top interfaces, these interfaces are specified within parentheses, separated by commas:

sun:bus-mc146818-(rtc, timer)
