Hello, I wanted to get a few things clarified in relation to the aforementioned project in the subject. The description of the project states that some drivers define their own copies of PCI_COMMAND, PCI_STATUS, etc. If we remove these definitions, then for the driver to work it has to include "include/uapi/linux/pci_regs.h", so should we also add the include statement in the driver source code or it is already included by some other way. Kindly help me resolve this confusion as I am a beginner at this. If the question sounds wrong or lame, please forgive me. I want to work on this project as a part of the Linux kernel mentorship program. Thanks and Regards
