+  AD525x Digital Potentiometers
+---------------------------------
+
+The ad525x_dpot driver exports a simple sysfs interface.  This allows you to
+work with the immediate resistance settings as well as update the saved startup
+settings.  Access to the factory programmed tolerance is also provided, but
+interpretation of this settings is required by the end application according to
+the specific part in use.
+
+---------
+  Files
+---------
+
+Each dpot device will have a set of eeprom, rdac, and tolerance files.  How
+many depends on the actual part you have, as will the range of allowed values.
+
+The eeprom files are used to program the startup value of the device.
+
+The rdac files are used to program the immediate value of the device.
+
+The tolerance files are the read-only factory programmed tolerance settings
+and may vary greatly on a part-by-part basis.  For exact interpretation of
+this field, please consult the datasheet for your part.  This is presented
+as a hex file for easier parsing.
+
+-----------
+  Example
+-----------
+
+Locate the device in your sysfs tree.  This is probably easiest by going into
+the common i2c directory and locating the device by the i2c slave address.
+
+	# ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/
+	0-0022  0-0027  0-002f
+
+So assuming the device in question is on the first i2c bus and has the slave
+address of 0x2f, we descend (unrelated sysfs entries have been trimmed).
+
+	# ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/
+	eeprom0 rdac0 tolerance0
+
+You can use simple reads/writes to access these files:
+
+	# cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/
+
+	# cat eeprom0
+	0
+	# echo 10 > eeprom0
+	# cat eeprom0
+	10
+
+	# cat rdac0
+	5
+	# echo 3 > rdac0
+	# cat rdac0
+	3

+Kernel driver apds990x
+======================

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+APDS990x is a combined ambient light and proximity sensor. ALS and proximity
+functionality are highly connected. ALS measurement path must be running
+while the proximity functionality is enabled.
+
+ALS produces raw measurement values for two channels: Clear channel
+(infrared + visible light) and IR only. However, threshold comparisons happen
+using clear channel only. Lux value and the threshold level on the HW
+might vary quite much depending the spectrum of the light source.
+
+Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles
+only lux values. Lux value is calculated using information from the both
+channels. HW threshold level is calculated from the given lux value to match
+with current type of the lightning. Sometimes inaccuracy of the estimations
+lead to false interrupt, but that doesn't harm.
+
+ALS contains 4 different gain steps. Driver automatically
+selects suitable gain step. After each measurement, reliability of the results
+is estimated and new measurement is trigged if necessary.
+
+Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if
+values are known. Otherwise plain sensor default values are used.
+
+Proximity side is little bit simpler. There is no need for complex conversions.
+It produces directly usable values.
+
+Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework.
+Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state.

+Author:

+
+Description
+-----------
+BH1770GLC and SFH7770 are combined ambient light and proximity sensors.
+ALS and proximity parts operates on their own, but they shares common I2C
+interface and interrupt logic. In principle they can run on their own,
+but ALS side results are used to estimate reliability of the proximity sensor.
+
+ALS produces 16 bit lux values. The chip contains interrupt logic to produce
+low and high threshold interrupts.
+
+Proximity part contains IR-led driver up to 3 IR leds. The chip measures
+amount of reflected IR light and produces proximity result. Resolution is
+8 bit. Driver supports only one channel. Driver uses ALS results to estimate
+reliability of the proximity results. Thus ALS is always running while
+proximity detection is needed.
+
+Driver uses threshold interrupts to avoid need for polling the values.
+Proximity low interrupt doesn't exists in the chip. This is simulated
+by using a delayed work. As long as there is proximity threshold above
+interrupts the delayed work is pushed forward. So, when proximity level goes
+below the threshold value, there is no interrupt and the delayed work will
+finally run. This is handled as no proximity indication.
+
+Chip state is controlled via runtime pm framework when enabled in config.
+
+Calibscale factor is used to hide differences between the chips. By default
+value set to neutral state meaning factor of 1.00. To get proper values,
+calibrated source of light is needed as a reference. Calibscale factor is set
+so that measurement produces about the expected lux value.

+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs)
+C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers.
+
+By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2
+or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems
+where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins.
+
+References
+----------
+
+The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com)
+Silicon Laboratories site], see:
+
+- AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at
+http://www.silabs.com/Support Documents/TechnicalDocs/an127.pdf 
+
+- C2 Specification at
+http://www.silabs.com/pages/DownloadDoc.aspx?FILEURL=Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/an127.pdf&src=SearchResults
+
+however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit
+banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and
+boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently
+this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to
+add.
+
+Using the driver
+----------------
+
+Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's
+info or read/write in-system flash.
+
+# ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/
+access            flash_block_size  flash_erase       rev_id
+dev_id            flash_blocks_num  flash_size        subsystem/
+flash_access      flash_data        reset             uevent
+
+Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have
+such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the
+C2port, you need the command:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access
+
+after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the
+connected micro controller:
+
+# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/dev_id
+8
+# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/rev_id
+1
+
+However, for security reasons, the in-system flash access in not
+enabled yet, to do so you need the command:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_access
+
+After that you can read the whole flash:
+
+# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data > image
+
+erase it:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_erase
+
+and write it:
+
+# cat image > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data
+
+after writing you have to reset the device to execute the new code:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/reset

+Description
+-----------
+
+This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
+of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
+EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
+24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
+industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
+
+This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
+organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
+effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
+
+DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
+The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
+than one address.
+
+DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
+addresses, is found.
+
+Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
+specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
+
+The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
+software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
+location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
+does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
+bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
+this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
+device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
+does not support this register.
+
+Lacking functionality:
+
+* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
+typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
+multiple addresses.
+
+* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
+These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
+
+* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
+to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
+to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
+until the values are restored somehow.
+
+Use:
+
+After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
+should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such
+as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
+contains the binary data from EEPROM.

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the IDT ICS932S401 chip family.
+
+This chip has 4 clock outputs--a base clock for the CPU (which is likely
+multiplied to get the real CPU clock), a system clock, a PCI clock, a USB
+clock, and a reference clock.  The driver reports selected and actual
+frequency.  If spread spectrum mode is enabled, the driver also reports by what
+percent the clock signal is being spread, which should be between 0 and -0.5%.
+All frequencies are reported in KHz.
+
+The ICS932S401 monitors all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
+the registers more often than once every other second.
+
+Special Features
+----------------
+
+The clocks could be reprogrammed to increase system speed.  I will not help you
+do this, as you risk damaging your system!

+Description
+-----------
+The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
+ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
+I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
+provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
+artificial light sources.
+
+The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
+mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
+value, of course.
+
+
+Detection
+---------
+
+The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
+it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
+addess and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
+transfer.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various HP laptops
+sporting the feature officially called "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" or
+"HP 3D DriveGuard". It detects automatically laptops with this sensor. Known
+models (full list can be found in drivers/platform/x86/hp_accel.c) will have
+their axis automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly play
+neverball). The accelerometer data is readable via
+/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d. Reported values are scaled
+to mg values (1/1000th of earth gravity).
+
+Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
+position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)"
+rate - read reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ.
+	write changes sampling rate of the accelerometer device.
+	Only values which are supported by HW are accepted.
+selftest - performs selftest for the chip as specified by chip manufacturer.
+
+This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
+the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick. Joystick device can be
+calibrated. Joystick device can be in two different modes.
+By default output values are scaled between -32768 .. 32767. In joystick raw
+mode, joystick and sysfs position entry have the same scale. There can be
+small difference due to input system fuzziness feature.
+Events are also available as input event device.
+
+Selftest is meant only for hardware diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
+used during normal operations. Position data is not corrupted during selftest
+but interrupt behaviour is not guaranteed to work reliably. In test mode, the
+sensing element is internally moved little bit. Selftest measures difference
+between normal mode and test mode. Chip specifications tell the acceptance
+limit for each type of the chip. Limits are provided via platform data
+to allow adjustment of the limits without a change to the actual driver.
+Seltest returns either "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y and z are
+measured difference between modes. Axes are not remapped in selftest mode.
+Measurement values are provided to help HW diagnostic applications to make
+final decision.
+
+On HP laptops, if the led infrastructure is activated, support for a led
+indicating disk protection will be provided as /sys/class/leds/hp::hddprotect.
+
+Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
+acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
+from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
+fasync operation modes. You must read 1 bytes from the device.  The
+result is number of free-fall interrupts since the last successful
+read (or 255 if number of interrupts would not fit). See the freefall.c
+file for an example on using the device.
+
+
+Axes orientation
+----------------
+
+For better compatibility between the various laptops. The values reported by
+the accelerometer are converted into a "standard" organisation of the axes
+(aka "can play neverball out of the box"):
+ * When the laptop is horizontal the position reported is about 0 for X and Y
+	and a positive value for Z
+ * If the left side is elevated, X increases (becomes positive)
+ * If the front side (where the touchpad is) is elevated, Y decreases
+	(becomes negative)
+ * If the laptop is put upside-down, Z becomes negative
+
+If your laptop model is not recognized (cf "dmesg"), you can send an
+email to the maintainer to add it to the database.  When reporting a new
+laptop, please include the output of "dmidecode" plus the value of
+/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position in these four cases.
+
+Q&A
+---
+
+Q: How do I safely simulate freefall? I have an HP "portable
+workstation" which has about 3.5kg and a plastic case, so letting it
+fall to the ground is out of question...
+
+A: The sensor is pretty sensitive, so your hands can do it. Lift it
+into free space, follow the fall with your hands for like 10
+centimeters. That should be enough to trigger the detection.

+Kernel driver max6875
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+  * Maxim MAX6874, MAX6875
+    Prefix: 'max6875'
+    Addresses scanned: None (see below)
+    Datasheet:
+        http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX6874-MAX6875.pdf
+
+Author: Ben Gardner <bgardner@wabtec.com>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The Maxim MAX6875 is an EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor.
+It provides timed outputs that can be used as a watchdog, if properly wired.
+It also provides 512 bytes of user EEPROM.
+
+At reset, the MAX6875 reads the configuration EEPROM into its configuration
+registers.  The chip then begins to operate according to the values in the
+registers.
+
+The Maxim MAX6874 is a similar, mostly compatible device, with more intputs
+and outputs:
+             vin     gpi    vout
+MAX6874        6       4       8
+MAX6875        4       3       5
+
+See the datasheet for more information.
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+eeprom        - 512 bytes of user-defined EEPROM space.
+
+
+General Remarks
+---------------
+
+Valid addresses for the MAX6875 are 0x50 and 0x52.
+Valid addresses for the MAX6874 are 0x50, 0x52, 0x54 and 0x56.
+The driver does not probe any address, so you explicitly instantiate the
+devices.
+
+Example:
+$ modprobe max6875
+$ echo max6875 0x50 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/new_device
+
+The MAX6874/MAX6875 ignores address bit 0, so this driver attaches to multiple
+addresses.  For example, for address 0x50, it also reserves 0x51.
+The even-address instance is called 'max6875', the odd one is 'dummy'.
+
+
+Programming the chip using i2c-dev
+----------------------------------
+
+Use the i2c-dev interface to access and program the chips.
+Reads and writes are performed differently depending on the address range.
+
+The configuration registers are at addresses 0x00 - 0x45.
+Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to write a register and
+i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() to read a register.
+The command is the register number.
+
+Examples:
+To write a 1 to register 0x45:
+  i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x45, 1);
+
+To read register 0x45:
+  value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(fd, 0x45);
+
+
+The configuration EEPROM is at addresses 0x8000 - 0x8045.
+The user EEPROM is at addresses 0x8100 - 0x82ff.
+
+Use i2c_smbus_write_word_data() to write a byte to EEPROM.
+
+The command is the upper byte of the address: 0x80, 0x81, or 0x82.
+The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8.
+  cmd = address >> 8;
+  val = (address & 0xff) | (data << 8);
+
+Example:
+To write 0x5a to address 0x8003:
+  i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x80, 0x5a03);
+
+
+Reading data from the EEPROM is a little more complicated.
+Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to set the read address and then
+i2c_smbus_read_byte() or i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() to read the data.
+
+Example:
+To read data starting at offset 0x8100, first set the address:
+  i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x81, 0x00);
+
+And then read the data
+  value = i2c_smbus_read_byte(fd);
+
+  or
+
+  count = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(fd, 0x84, 16, buffer);
+
+The block read should read 16 bytes.
+0x84 is the block read command.
+
+See the datasheet for more details.

+Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
+==============================================
+
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+MEI misc character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
+data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
+However for some of the ME functionalities it make sense to leverage existing software
+stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
+
+In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
+bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing linux kernel drivers
+for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
+Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
+the existing code.
+
+
+MEI CL bus API
+==============
+
+A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to existing bus
+based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
+the mei_cl_driver structure:
+
+struct mei_cl_driver {
+	struct device_driver driver;
+	const char *name;
+
+	const struct mei_cl_device_id *id_table;
+
+	int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
+	int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
+};
+
+struct mei_cl_id {
+	char name[MEI_NAME_SIZE];
+	kernel_ulong_t driver_info;
+};
+
+The mei_cl_id structure allows the driver to bind itself against a device name.
+
+To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the mei_cl_add_driver()
+API. This is typically called at module init time.
+
+Once registered on the ME Client bus, a driver will typically try to do some I/O on
+this bus and this should be done through the mei_cl_send() and mei_cl_recv()
+routines. The latter is synchronous (blocks and sleeps until data shows up).
+In order for drivers to be notified of pending events waiting for them (e.g.
+an Rx event) they can register an event handler through the
+mei_cl_register_event_cb() routine. Currently only the MEI_EVENT_RX event
+will trigger an event handler call and the driver implementation is supposed
+to call mei_recv() from the event handler in order to fetch the pending
+received buffers.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
+The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
+
+#define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
+
+static struct mei_cl_device_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
+	{ CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, },
+
+	/* required last entry */
+	{ }
+};
+MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mei_cl, contact_mei_cl_tbl);
+
+static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
+	.id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
+	.name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
+
+	.probe = contact_probe,
+	.remove = contact_remove,
+};
+
+static int contact_init(void)
+{
+	int r;
+
+	r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
+	if (r) {
+		pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
+		return r;
+	}
+
+	return 0;
+}
+
+static void __exit contact_exit(void)
+{
+	mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
+}
+
+module_init(contact_init);
+module_exit(contact_exit);
+
+And the driver's simplified probe routine would look like that:
+
+int contact_probe(struct mei_cl_device *dev, struct mei_cl_device_id *id)
+{
+	struct contact_driver *contact;
+
+	[...]
+	mei_cl_enable_device(dev);
+
+	mei_cl_register_event_cb(dev, contact_event_cb, contact);
+
+	return 0;
+}
+
+In the probe routine the driver first enable the MEI device and then registers
+an ME bus event handler which is as close as it can get to registering a
+threaded IRQ handler.
+The handler implementation will typically call some I/O routine depending on
+the pending events:
+
+#define MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD 128
+
+static void contact_event_cb(struct mei_cl_device *dev, u32 events,
+			     void *context)
+{
+	struct contact_driver *contact = context;
+
+	if (events & BIT(MEI_EVENT_RX)) {
+		u8 payload[MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD];
+		int payload_size;
+
+		payload_size = mei_recv(dev, payload, MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD);
+		if (payload_size <= 0)
+			return;
+
+		/* Hook to the NFC subsystem */
+		nfc_hci_recv_frame(contact->hdev, payload, payload_size);
+	}
+}

+Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (Intel(R) MEI)
+===================================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing
+resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME
+provides support for computer/IT management features. The feature set
+depends on the Intel chipset SKU.
+
+The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI)
+is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed
+to the host as a PCI device. The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the
+communication channel between a host application and the Intel ME feature.
+
+Each Intel ME feature (Intel ME Client) is addressed by a GUID/UUID and
+each client has its own protocol. The protocol is message-based with a
+header and payload up to 512 bytes.
+
+Prominent usage of the Intel ME Interface is to communicate with Intel(R)
+Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) implemented in firmware running on
+the Intel ME.
+
+Intel AMT provides the ability to manage a host remotely out-of-band (OOB)
+even when the operating system running on the host processor has crashed or
+is in a sleep state.
+
+Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
+   - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
+   - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
+     maintenance)
+   - OS updates
+   - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
+   - Built-in hardware KVM
+   - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
+     on policies set by a remote management console
+   - IDE device redirection from remote management console
+
+Intel AMT (OOB) communication is based on SOAP (deprecated
+starting with Release 6.0) over HTTP/S or WS-Management protocol over
+HTTP/S that are received from a remote management console application.
+
+For more information about Intel AMT:
+http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
+
+
+Intel MEI Driver
+================
+
+The driver exposes a misc device called /dev/mei.
+
+An application maintains communication with an Intel ME feature while
+/dev/mei is open. The binding to a specific feature is performed by calling
+MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT_IOCTL, which passes the desired UUID.
+The number of instances of an Intel ME feature that can be opened
+at the same time depends on the Intel ME feature, but most of the
+features allow only a single instance.
+
+The Intel AMT Host Interface (Intel AMTHI) feature supports multiple
+simultaneous user connected applications. The Intel MEI driver
+handles this internally by maintaining request queues for the applications.
+
+The driver is transparent to data that are passed between firmware feature
+and host application.
+
+Because some of the Intel ME features can change the system
+configuration, the driver by default allows only a privileged
+user to access it.
+
+A code snippet for an application communicating with Intel AMTHI client:
+
+	struct mei_connect_client_data data;
+	fd = open(MEI_DEVICE);
+
+	data.d.in_client_uuid = AMTHI_UUID;
+
+	ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &data);
+
+	printf("Ver=%d, MaxLen=%ld\n",
+			data.d.in_client_uuid.protocol_version,
+			data.d.in_client_uuid.max_msg_length);
+
+	[...]
+
+	write(fd, amthi_req_data, amthi_req_data_len);
+
+	[...]
+
+	read(fd, &amthi_res_data, amthi_res_data_len);
+
+	[...]
+	close(fd);
+
+
+IOCTL
+=====
+
+The Intel MEI Driver supports the following IOCTL command:
+	IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT	Connect to firmware Feature (client).
+
+	usage:
+		struct mei_connect_client_data clientData;
+		ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &clientData);
+
+	inputs:
+		mei_connect_client_data struct contain the following
+		input field:
+
+		in_client_uuid -	UUID of the FW Feature that needs
+					to connect to.
+	outputs:
+		out_client_properties - Client Properties: MTU and Protocol Version.
+
+	error returns:
+		EINVAL	Wrong IOCTL Number
+		ENODEV	Device or Connection is not initialized or ready.
+			(e.g. Wrong UUID)
+		ENOMEM	Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+		EFAULT	Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+		EBUSY	Connection Already Open
+
+	Notes:
+        max_msg_length (MTU) in client properties describes the maximum
+        data that can be sent or received. (e.g. if MTU=2K, can send
+        requests up to bytes 2k and received responses up to 2k bytes).
+
+
+Intel ME Applications
+=====================
+
+	1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
+
+	   Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
+	   2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
+	   over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
+	   SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
+	   local application using the same network interface as a remote application
+	   communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
+
+	   When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
+	   name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
+	   intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
+	   For more information:
+	   http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
+	   Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
+
+	   For downloading Intel LMS:
+	   http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
+
+	   The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
+	   firmware feature using a defined UUID and then communicates with the feature
+	   using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
+	   The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
+	   single application.
+
+	   See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
+	   http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
+	   Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
+	   => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
+	   => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
+
+	2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
+
+	   A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
+	   without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
+	   configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration
+	   agent that runs on the host.
+	   For more information:
+	   http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
+	   Under "Setup and Configuration of Intel AMT" =>
+	   "SDK Tools Supporting Setup and Configuration" =>
+	   "Using the Local Agent Sample"
+
+	   An open source Intel AMT configuration utility,	implementing a local agent
+	   that accesses the Intel MEI driver, can be found here:
+	   http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
+
+
+Intel AMT OS Health Watchdog
+============================
+
+The Intel AMT Watchdog is an OS Health (Hang/Crash) watchdog.
+Whenever the OS hangs or crashes, Intel AMT will send an event
+to any subscriber to this event. This mechanism means that
+IT knows when a platform crashes even when there is a hard failure on the host.
+
+The Intel AMT Watchdog is composed of two parts:
+	1) Firmware feature - receives the heartbeats
+	   and sends an event when the heartbeats stop.
+	2) Intel MEI driver - connects to the watchdog feature, configures the
+	   watchdog and sends the heartbeats.
+
+The Intel MEI driver uses the kernel watchdog API to configure the Intel AMT
+Watchdog and to send heartbeats to it. The default timeout of the
+watchdog is 120 seconds.
+
+If the Intel AMT Watchdog feature does not exist (i.e. the connection failed),
+the Intel MEI driver will disable the sending of heartbeats.

+Device Drivers
+	Misc devices
+		PCIe gadget support for SPEAr13XX platform
+purpose
+===========
+This driver has several nodes which can be read/written by configfs interface.
+Its main purpose is to configure selected dual mode PCIe controller as device
+and then program its various registers to configure it as a particular device
+type. This driver can be used to show spear's PCIe device capability.
+
+Description of different nodes:
+=================================
+
+read behavior of nodes:
+------------------------------
+link 		:gives ltssm status.
+int_type 	:type of supported interrupt
+no_of_msi 	:zero if MSI is not enabled by host. A positive value is the
+		number of MSI vector granted.
+vendor_id	:returns programmed vendor id (hex)
+device_id	:returns programmed device id(hex)
+bar0_size:	:returns size of bar0 in hex.
+bar0_address	:returns address of bar0 mapped area in hex.
+bar0_rw_offset	:returns offset of bar0 for which bar0_data will return value.
+bar0_data	:returns data at bar0_rw_offset.
+
+write behavior of nodes:
+------------------------------
+link 		:write UP to enable ltsmm DOWN to disable
+int_type	:write interrupt type to be configured and (int_type could be
+		INTA, MSI or NO_INT). Select MSI only when you have programmed
+		no_of_msi node.
+no_of_msi	:number of MSI vector needed.
+inta		:write 1 to assert INTA and 0 to de-assert.
+send_msi	:write MSI vector to be sent.
+vendor_id	:write vendor id(hex) to be programmed.
+device_id	:write device id(hex) to be programmed.
+bar0_size	:write size of bar0 in hex. default bar0 size is 1000 (hex)
+		bytes.
+bar0_address	:write	address of bar0 mapped area in hex. (default mapping of
+		bar0 is SYSRAM1(E0800000). Always program bar size before bar
+		address. Kernel might modify bar size and address for alignment, so
+		read back bar size and address after writing to cross check.
+bar0_rw_offset	:write offset of bar0 for which	bar0_data will write value.
+bar0_data	:write data to be written at bar0_rw_offset.
+
+Node programming example
+===========================
+Program all PCIe registers in such a way that when this device is connected
+to the PCIe host, then host sees this device as 1MB RAM.
+#mount -t configfs none /Config
+For nth PCIe Device Controller
+# cd /config/pcie_gadget.n/
+Now you have all the nodes in this directory.
+program vendor id as 0x104a
+# echo 104A >> vendor_id
+
+program device id as 0xCD80
+# echo CD80 >> device_id
+
+program BAR0 size as 1MB
+# echo 100000 >> bar0_size
+
+check for programmed bar0 size
+# cat bar0_size
+
+Program BAR0 Address as DDR (0x2100000). This is the physical address of
+memory, which is to be made visible to PCIe host. Similarly any other peripheral
+can also be made visible to PCIe host. E.g., if you program base address of UART
+as BAR0 address then when this device will be connected to a host, it will be
+visible as UART.
+# echo 2100000 >> bar0_address
+
+program interrupt type : INTA
+# echo INTA >> int_type
+
+go for link up now.
+# echo UP >> link
+
+It will have to be insured that, once link up is done on gadget, then only host
+is initialized and start to search PCIe devices on its port.
+
+/*wait till link is up*/
+# cat link
+wait till it returns UP.
+
+To assert INTA
+# echo 1 >> inta
+
+To de-assert INTA
+# echo 0 >> inta
+
+if MSI is to be used as interrupt, program no of msi vector needed (say4)
+# echo 4 >> no_of_msi
+
+select MSI as interrupt type
+# echo MSI >> int_type
+
+go for link up now
+# echo UP >> link
+
+wait till link is up
+# cat link
+An application can repetitively read this node till link is found UP. It can
+sleep between two read.
+
+wait till msi is enabled
+# cat no_of_msi
+Should return 4 (number of requested MSI vector)
+
+to send msi vector 2
+# echo 2 >> send_msi
+#cd -
