+
+The /sys/class/rapidio_port subdirectory contains individual subdirectories

+
+ port_destid - reports RapidIO destination ID assigned to the given RapidIO
+ mport device. If value 0xFFFFFFFF is returned this means that
+ no valid destination ID have been assigned to the mport (yet).
+ Normally, before enumeration/discovery have been executed only
+ fabric enumerating mports have a valid destination ID assigned

+ 1 = large (16-bit destination ID, max. 65536 devices).
+

+the corresponding subdirectory will also contain subdirectories for each
+child RapidIO device connected to the mport. Naming conventions for RapidIO
+devices are described in Section 1 above.
