Subject[RFC PATCHv2 0/2] Export SoC info through sysfs
Date
Here is the second version of the proposal to export SoC related information to user-space through sysFS interface.

The first patch introduces the common part, which provides an interface to the platform to export platform-defined IDs to user-space.
The IDs strings can be provided in two ways: either with a pointer to the string, or by a callback fullfilling the sysfs's "show" callback buffer.

The second patch is given as example for the ux500 architecture. It registers the socinfo interface, and exports 5 values (Family name, machine name, silicon process, silicon revision, and serial number).

Here is the output for DB8500:
root@ME:/sys/socinfo ls -l
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 2 03:35 family
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 2 03:35 machine
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 2 03:35 process
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 2 03:35 revision
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 2 03:35 soc_id
root@ME:/sys/socinfo cat machine
DB8500
root@ME:/sys/socinfo cat family
Ux500
root@ME:/sys/socinfo cat process
Standard
root@ME:/sys/socinfo cat revision
2.0
root@ME:/sys/socinfo cat soc_id

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1:
Conclusion about first version :
* /sys/devices/system is not right place for this interface.
* "mach_name" should be declared as other attributes to simplify code.
* The get_info callback should use directly the "show" callback buffer.
* Documentation was missing (ABI description required)
* Errors were not reported at registration time.
* Macros should be used to create attributes.
* Some kernel coding rules not followed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any comments are welcome.

Note that I will be off from 13th to 21th of March.

Regards,
Maxime
