Both parameters can be modified by writing to +/sys/module/fmc/parameters/, because they are used when client drivers +are devices are registered, not when fmc.ko is loaded. + +`dump_eeprom=' + If not zero, the parameter asks the bus controller to dump the + EEPROM of any device that is registered, using printk. + +`dump_sdb=' + If not zero, the parameter prints the SDB tree of every FPGA it is + loaded by fmc_reprogram(). If greater than one, it asks to dump + the binary content of SDB records. This currently only dumps the + top-level SDB array, though. + + +EEPROM dumping avoids repeating lines, since most of the contents is +usually empty and all bits are one or zero.
