You're right, this isn't possible, because it's not needed. The drivers
are usually able to read the device configuration from its registers,
and create the right sysfs entries based on that information. The only
exceptions being the vt1211 and gl520sm drivers, which I mentioned in
my previous reply.

So I seem to understand that, for the abituguru3, you are not able to
read the configuration from the device? Again I must blame Abit for
their very poor design and/or lack of documentation :(

Didn't you have the same problem originally in the first abiturugu
driver? If so, how did you solve it?
