At present IDPF supports only 0x1452 and 0x145C as PF and VF device IDs on our current generation hardware. Future hardware exposes a new set of device IDs for each generation. To avoid adding a new device ID for each generation and to make the driver forward and backward compatible, make use of the IDPF PCI programming interface to load the driver. Write and read the VF_ARQBAL mailbox register to find if the current device is a PF or a VF. PCI SIG allocated a new programming interface for the IDPF compliant ethernet network controller devices. It can be found at: https://members.pcisig.com/wg/PCI-SIG/document/20113 with the document titled as 'PCI Code and ID Assignment Revision 1.16' or any latest revisions. Tested this patch by doing a simple driver load/unload on Intel IPU E2000 hardware which supports 0x1452 and 0x145C device IDs and new hardware which supports the IDPF PCI programming interface.

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.
