ddi_dev_is_sid - tell whether a device is self-identifying

int ddi_dev_is_sid(dev_info_t *dip);

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI). dip The ddi_dev_is_sid() function tells the caller whether the device described by dip is self-identifying, that is, a device that can unequivocally tell the system that it exists. This is useful for drivers that support both a self-identifying as well as a non-self-identifying variants of a device (and therefore must be probed). DDI_SUCCESS DDI_FAILURE The ddi_dev_is_sid() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
