[PATCH v2 0/4] driver core: Add device link related sysfs files
From: Saravana Kannan
Date: Tue May 19 2020 - 23:48:31 EST
With fw_devlink and with sync_state() callback features, there's a lot
of device/device link related information that's not available in sysfs.
Exposing these details to user space can be very useful in understanding
suspend/resume issues, runtime pm issues, probing issues, figuring out
the modules that'd be needed for first stage init, etc. In fact, an
earlier verion of this series was very helpful in debugging and
validating the recent memory leak fix[1].
This series combines combines a bunch of patches I've sent before.
I'm aware that I haven't added documentation for patch 1/2. I'm waiting
on review to make sure the file location, name and values don't change
before I add the documentation.
This series is based on driver-core-next and [1] cherry-picked on top of
it.
