Subject[PATCH 1/7] Documentation: PCI: endpoint/pci-endpoint-cfs: Guide to use SR-IOV
Date
Add Documentation to help users use PCI endpoint to create virtual
functions using configfs. An endpoint function is designated as a
virtual endpoint function device when it is linked to a physical
endpoint function device (instead of a endpoint controller).
