+Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
+===============================
+
+A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
+processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
+processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
+battery life.
+There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
+Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
+and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
+
+Intel introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
+Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
+are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
+These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
+transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
+mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
+
+This document provides an overview of transport protocol and how it is
+implemented.

+
+High level processing in above blocks:
+
+---
+Hardware Interface
+The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
+product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
+the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
+generation.
+
+---
+Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver:
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
+
+The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
+hw-ish-regs.h.
+
+IPC/FW message types
+There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
+are to and from transport layers.
+
+TX and RX of Transport messages:
+A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
+RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The messaging uses
+doorbell register to trigger processing on client and server side.
+The IPC layer maintains internal queues to sequence messages and send them in
+order to the FW. Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification
+of completion.
+
+Transport layer interface
+To abstract HW level IPC communication a set of callbacks are registered.
+The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
+Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
+
+---
+ISH Transport layer
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
+
+A Generic Transport Layer
+The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
+- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
+(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
+- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
+
+This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
+http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
+specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf
+Chater 7: Bus Message Layer
+
+DMA
+The transport layer allocate 1 MB TX and 1 MB RX buffer. This buffer is divided
+into slots of 4K buffer. This buffer is shared among all connected clients.
+So when a message is to be sent or received by a client, it finds an empty
+slot and either fill for TX or send DMA address to FW for RX.
+By default all RX messages uses DMA as there is more upstream data for sensors
+than downstream. For TX client send interface has flag to send via DMA, which
+is not set by default as there is less TX data other setting some feature
+reports by HID sensor hub driver.
+
+Ring Buffers
+When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
+The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
+TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
+sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
+bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
+processed last message and may not have enough flow control credits to send.
+Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
+
+Host Enumeration
+The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in
+the FW. There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration
+function.
+To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
+this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
+client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
+
+ISH Client over generic transport layer
+The ISH client defines interface to send and receive HID style command
+and responses. Refer to ishtp-hid.h.
+These commands are for"
+- Get HID descriptor
+- Get report descriptor
+- Get/Set feature report
+- Get input reports
+
+---
+HID over ISH Client
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
+
+This implanted as ISHTP client driver, which
+- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
+- Get Report descriptor
+- Register with HID core as a LL driver
+- Process Get/Set feature request
+- Get input reports
+
+----
+HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
+
+The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
+These drivers don't require changes to handle ISH other than some
+optimizations.
