+ This file determines whether new devices are immediately bound
+ to a driver after the creation. It initially contains 1, which
+ means the kernel automatically binds devices to a compatible
+ driver immediately after they are created.

+ Writing "0" to this file disable this feature, any other string
+ enable it.
