+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 hpfall.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.

+ 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 -
