								Description:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										functionality is only available if implemented by the platform.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										The directory created for each SoC will also house information
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC.

						||
| 
								 | 
							
										Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number.

								Description:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										/sys/devices/socX devices.
