Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment may include receiving an indication that a first device has been granted access to a bus. In response, at least in part, to the indication, a signal may be provided that may result in the coupling of a signal line of a second device to the bus. After the provision of the signal, the first device may configure the second device. Of course, many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.
