I don't know and maybe this is how modern drivers are developed now, but my laptop doesn't have anything driver and vendor specific related under plain /sys/kernel/* directory. ➜ kernel git:(rdma-next) ls -l /sys/kernel total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 boot_params drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 btf drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 cgroup drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Feb 8 07:45 config drwx------. 51 root root 0 Feb 8 07:45 debug -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 fscaps drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Feb 8 10:16 iommu_groups drwxr-xr-x. 94 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 irq -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 kexec_crash_loaded -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 kexec_crash_size -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 kexec_loaded drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 livepatch drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 0 Feb 8 07:45 mm -r--r--r--. 1 root root 512 Feb 11 11:20 notes -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 profiling -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 rcu_expedited -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 rcu_normal drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 0 Feb 8 07:45 security drwxr-xr-x. 163 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 slab drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 0 Feb 11 11:20 software_nodes drwx------. 8 root root 0 Feb 8 07:45 tracing -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 uevent_seqnum -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 11:20 vmcoreinfo Also it is very uncommon in large subsystems to see custom sysfs entries for the specific driver. I wonder why this dw-xdata-pcie driver is different.
