Merge branch 'master' into for-next
Merge with latest Linus' tree, as I have incoming patches
that fix code that is newer than current HEAD of for-next.
Conflicts:
drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c

1 | What: /sys/devices/socX | ||
2 | Date: January 2012 | ||
3 | contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> | ||
4 | Description: | ||
5 | The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each | ||
6 | System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information | ||
7 | regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This | ||
8 | functionality is only available if implemented by the platform. | ||
9 | |||
10 | The directory created for each SoC will also house information | ||
11 | about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform. | ||
12 | It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported | ||
13 | devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC. | ||

16 | Date: January 2012 | ||
17 | contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> | ||
18 | Description: | ||
19 | Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains the SoC machine | ||
20 | name (e.g. Ux500). | ||
21 | |||

25 | Description: | ||
26 | Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains SoC family name | ||
27 | (e.g. DB8500). | ||

30 | Date: January 2012 | ||
31 | contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> | ||
32 | Description: | ||
33 | Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of | ||
34 | ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number. | ||
35 | |||

37 | Date: January 2012 | ||
38 | contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> | ||
39 | Description: | ||
40 | Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. Contains the SoC's | ||
41 | manufacturing revision number. | ||

43 | What: /sys/devices/socX/process | ||
44 | Date: January 2012 | ||
45 | contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> | ||
46 | Description: | ||
47 | Read-only attribute supported ST-Ericsson's silicon. Contains the | ||
48 | the process by which the silicon chip was manufactured. | ||

51 | Date: January 2012 | ||
52 | contact: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> | ||
53 | Description: | ||
54 | The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders | ||
55 | expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular | ||
56 | interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on | ||
57 | the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned | ||
58 | /sys/devices/socX devices. | ||
