Bug Description
The hardware-observe interface currently only allows access to /proc/bus/
This limitation is probably in place because /proc/bus/pci is a legacy method of probing the PCI bus. The hardware-observe interface does allow inspection via the more modern /sysfs hierarchy, granting access to /block, /bus, /class, /devices, and /firmware under /sys.
Dell's Edge Device Manager application uses the legacy /proc method of inspecting the PCI bus, and they aren't amicable to having to re-write their code to use /sysfs.
snapd version: 2.22
hardware: Dell Gateway 5000 running UC16
