+What:		/sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../bind
+Date:		December 2003
+Contact:	linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Writing a device location to this file will cause
+		the driver to attempt to bind to the device found at
+		this location.	This is useful for overriding default
+		bindings.  The format for the location is: DDDD:BB:DD.F.
+		That is Domain:Bus:Device.Function and is the same as
+		found in /sys/bus/pci/devices/.  For example:
+		# echo 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/bind
+		(Note: kernels before 2.6.28 may require echo -n).

+Description:
+		Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
+		dynamically add a new device ID to a PCI device driver.
+		This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
+		was included in the driver's static device ID support
+		table at compile time.  The format for the device ID is:
+		VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM PPPP.  That is Vendor ID,
+		Device ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID,
+		Class, Class Mask, and Private Driver Data.  The Vendor ID
+		and Device ID fields are required, the rest are optional.
+		Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
+		for the device and attempt to bind to it.  For example:
+		# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/new_id

+
+     <para>
+       The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures.
+       These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h.  They are
+       fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs.
+       The last three can be made available to and from userland.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card.
+       Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a
+       collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work.
+       fb_info is only visible to the kernel.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card
+       that are user defined.  With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as
+       depth and the resolution may be defined.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the
+       properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't
+       be changed otherwise.  A good example of this is the start of the
+       frame buffer memory.  This "locks" the address of the frame buffer
+       memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was
+       little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things
+       such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With
+       the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used
+       correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked.  fb_monospecs
+       will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x.

+      <title>Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)</title>
+  <para>
+	SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with
+	embedded systems because it is a simple and efficient
+	interface:  basically a multiplexed shift register.
+	Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, often in the range
+	of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data line, and
+	a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line.
+	SPI is a full duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the
+	MOSI line (one per clock) another is shifted in on the MISO line.
+	Those bits are assembled into words of various sizes on the
+	way to and from system memory.
+	An additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS);
+	four signals are normally used for each peripheral, plus
+	sometimes an interrupt.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+	The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized
+	interface to declare SPI busses and devices, manage them
+	according to the standard Linux driver model, and perform
+	input/output operations.
+	At this time, only "master" side interfaces are supported,
+	where Linux talks to SPI peripherals and does not implement
+	such a peripheral itself.
+	(Interfaces to support implementing SPI slaves would
+	necessarily look different.)
+  </para>
+  <para>
+	The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver,
+	and two kinds of device.
+	A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller hardware, which may
+	be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as a pair of FIFOs
+	connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the SPI shift
+	register (maximizing throughput).  Such drivers bridge between
+	whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and
+	expose the SPI side of their device as a
+	<structname>struct spi_master</structname>.
+	SPI devices are children of that master, represented as a
+	<structname>struct spi_device</structname> and manufactured from
+	<structname>struct spi_board_info</structname> descriptors which
+	are usually provided by board-specific initialization code.
+	A <structname>struct spi_driver</structname> is called a
+	"Protocol Driver", and is bound to a spi_device using normal
+	driver model calls.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+	The I/O model is a set of queued messages.  Protocol drivers
+	submit one or more <structname>struct spi_message</structname>
+	objects, which are processed and completed asynchronously.
+	(There are synchronous wrappers, however.)  Messages are
+	built from one or more <structname>struct spi_transfer</structname>
+	objects, each of which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer.

+	I<superscript>2</superscript>C (or without fancy typography, "I2C")
+	is an acronym for the "Inter-IC" bus, a simple bus protocol which is
+	widely used where low data rate communications suffice.
+	Since it's also a licensed trademark, some vendors use another
+	name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for the same bus.
+	I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), conserving
+	board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues.
+	Most I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up
+	to 400 kHz; there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet
+	found wide use.
+	I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to
+	arbitrate between masters, as well as to handshake and to
+	synchronize clocks from slower clients.
