PCIe spec 5.0 r1.0 section 2.2.6.2 says:
If an Endpoint supports sending Requests to other Endpoints (as
opposed to host memory), the Endpoint must not send 10-Bit Tag
Requests to another given Endpoint unless an implementation-specific
mechanism determines that the Endpoint supports 10-Bit Tag Completer
capability.
Add a 10bit_tag sysfs file, write 0 to disable 10-Bit Tag Requester
when the driver does not bind the device. The typical use case is for
p2pdma when the peer device does not support 10-Bit Tag Completer.
Write 1 to enable 10-Bit Tag Requester when RC supports 10-Bit Tag
Completer capability. The typical use case is for host memory targeted
by DMA Requests. The 10bit_tag file content indicate current status of
10-Bit Tag Requester Enable.
Don't we have a hole here? We're adding knobs to control 10-Bit Tag
usage, but don't we have basically the same issues with Extended
(8-bit) Tags?
I wonder if we should be adding a more general "tags" file that can
manage both 8-bit and 10-bit tag usage.

I think this should use DEVICE_ATTR(). Or even better, if the name
doesn't start with a digit, DEVICE_ATTR_RW().
