[PATCH 2/6] ACPI: Provide /sys/devices/system/ec/*/io for binary access to the EC

[Thomas Renninger]

Binary sysfs skeleton taken over from drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c

/sys/devices/system/ec/*/io
A userspace app to easily read/write the EC can be found here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec/ec_access.c

+		EC Sysfs File Description
+
+This file descibes sysfs files under:
+/sys/devices/system/ec
+
+Currently only one Embedded Controller is supported.
+This could get extended easily if such an ACPI supporting
+system exist, but until know there has no need be seen.
+
+/sys/devices/system/ec/ec0/gpe
+An integer value showing the General Purpose Event the EC
+serves and has its handler installed on.
+A GPE is an ACPI interrupt (compare with /proc/interrupts)
+with a specific value retrieved from a HW register associated
+to it. If the value equals the EC GPE, this event is processed
+by the EC.
+The activity of the EC GPE can be monitored like that:
+GPE=`cat /sys/devices/system/ec/ec0/gpe`
+watch -n1 cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe${GPE}
+
+/sys/devices/system/ec/ec0/use_global_lock
+Shows whether BIOS requested the OS to use the global ACPI
+lock on EC transitions (compare with ACPI specification for
+details).
+
+/sys/devices/system/ec/ec0/io
+Provides access to the 255 EC registers.
+Its input and output is binary.
+A userspace tool to easily read/write the EC can be found here:
+ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec/ec_access.c
+This file is for debugging purposes only.
+!!! THE EC MUST ONLY GET ACCESSED THROUGH THE KERNEL, INTERPRETING
+ACPI CODE ON PRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS !!!
