@item validate
Module parameters are used to manage different applications for
two two or more boards of the same kind. Validation uses
the @i{bus_id} module parameter (if provided) and returns the
matching index in the array. If no match is found, @code{-ENOENT}
is returned; if the argument has not been specified, all
devices match the driver and 0 is returned. The value returned
by the validate method can be used as index into other parameters
(for example, some drivers use the @code{lm32=} parameter in this
way). Such ``generic parameters'' are currently documented in the
@i{spec-sw} manual; this @i{validate} method is on show in
@code{spec-fmc.c} and it is used by @code{fmc-trivial.c}.
@item reprogram
