Add a debugfs interface for sending commands to the OLPC Embedded Controller (EC) and reading the responses. The EC provides functionality for machine identification, battery and AC control, wakeup control, etc. Having a debugfs interface available is useful for EC development and debugging. Based on code by Paul Fox (who also approves of the end result). Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Acked-by: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org> Cc: "H.

Description:
|
|
|
|
A generic interface for executing OLPC Embedded Controller commands and
|
|
reading their responses.
|
|
|
|
To execute a command, write data with the format: CC:N A A A A
|
|
CC is the (hex) command, N is the count of expected reply bytes, and A A A A
|
|
are optional (hex) arguments.
|
|
|
|
To read the response (if any), read from the generic node after executing
|
|
a command. Hex reply bytes will be returned, *whether or not* they came from
|
|
the immediately previous command.
