+description: |
+  This binding is for controlling the probes of a set of devices in the system.
+  Probe control device is a dummy device that can be used to control the probe
+  of a group of devices. To have finer control, the devices can further be
+  divided into multiple groups and for each group a probe control device can
+  be assigned. This way, individual groups can be managed independently.
+  For example, one group can be for pcie based devices and other can be
+  scsi or usb devices.
+  Probe control device is provider node and the devices whose probes need to be
+  controlled, are consumer nodes. To establish control over consumer device
+  probes, each consumer device node need to refer the probe control provider
+  node by the phandle.
