Writing 1 to this attribute will trigger hot removal of | ||
this device object. This file exists for every device | ||
object that has _EJ0 method. | ||

Description: | ||
(RO) Returns the ACPI device status: enabled, disabled or | ||
functioning or present, if the method _STA is present. | ||
|
||
The return value is a decimal integer representing the device's | ||
status bitmap: | ||
|
||
Bit [0] – Set if the device is present. | ||
Bit [1] – Set if the device is enabled and decoding its | ||
resources. | ||
Bit [2] – Set if the device should be shown in the UI. | ||
Bit [3] – Set if the device is functioning properly (cleared if | ||
device failed its diagnostics). | ||
Bit [4] – Set if the battery is present. | ||
Bits [31:5] – Reserved (must be cleared) | ||
|
||
If bit [0] is clear, then bit 1 must also be clear (a device | ||
that is not present cannot be enabled). | ||
|
||
Bit 0 can be clear (not present) with bit [3] set (device is | ||
functional). This case is used to indicate a valid device for | ||
which no device driver should be loaded. | ||
|
||
More special cases are covered in the ACPI specification. | ||

Description: | ||
(RO) Allows users to read the hardware version of non-PCI | ||
hardware, if the _HRV control method is present. It is mostly | ||
useful for non-PCI devices because lspci can list the hardware | ||
version for PCI devices. |
