From a3c8121b8724c3d496dc00201ab40e8313edcf0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Drake Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:07:40 +0100 Subject: x86/olpc: Add debugfs interface for EC commands 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 Acked-by: Paul Fox Cc: "H.
