+What:		/sys/bus/css/devices/.../type
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
+		linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	Contains the subchannel type, as reported by the hardware.
+		This attribute is present for all subchannel types.

+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
+		linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	Contains the module alias as reported with uevents.
+		It is of the format css:t<type> and present for all
+		subchannel types.

+Date:		December 2002
+Contact:	Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
+		linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	Contains the ids of the channel paths used by this
+		subchannel, as reported by the channel subsystem
+		during subchannel recognition.
+		Note: This is an I/O-subchannel specific attribute.

+Date:		December 2002
+Contact:	Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
+		linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	Contains the PIM/PAM/POM values, as reported by the
+		channel subsystem when last queried by the common I/O
+		layer (this implies that this attribute is not neccessarily
+		in sync with the values current in the channel subsystem).
+		Note: This is an I/O-subchannel specific attribute.
