+ * AB8500 register access
+ * ======================
+ *
+ * read:
+ * # echo BANK  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/register-bank
+ * # echo ADDR  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/register-address
+ * # cat <debugfs>/ab8500/register-value

+ * # echo BANK  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/register-bank
+ * # echo ADDR  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/register-address
+ * # echo VALUE >  <debugfs>/ab8500/register-value
+ *
+ * read all registers from a bank:
+ * # echo BANK  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/register-bank
+ * # cat <debugfs>/ab8500/all-bank-register
+ *
+ * BANK   target AB8500 register bank
+ * ADDR   target AB8500 register address
+ * VALUE  decimal or 0x-prefixed hexadecimal
+ *
+ *
+ * User Space notification on AB8500 IRQ
+ * =====================================
+ *
+ * Allows user space entity to be notified when target AB8500 IRQ occurs.
+ * When subscribed, a sysfs entry is created in ab8500.i2c platform device.
+ * One can pool this file to get target IRQ occurence information.
+ *
+ * subscribe to an AB8500 IRQ:
+ * # echo IRQ  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/irq-subscribe
+ *
+ * unsubscribe from an AB8500 IRQ:
+ * # echo IRQ  >  <debugfs>/ab8500/irq-unsubscribe
+ *
+ *
+ * AB8500 register formated read/write access
+ * ==========================================
+ *
+ * Read:  read data, data>>SHIFT, data&=MASK, output data
+ *        [0xABCDEF98] shift=12 mask=0xFFF => 0x00000CDE
+ * Write: read data, data &= ~(MASK<<SHIFT), data |= (VALUE<<SHIFT), write data
+ *        [0xABCDEF98] shift=12 mask=0xFFF value=0x123 => [0xAB123F98]
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * # echo "CMD [OPTIONS] BANK ADRESS [VALUE]" > $debugfs/ab8500/hwreg
+ *
+ * CMD      read      read access
+ *          write     write access
+ *
+ * BANK     target reg bank
+ * ADDRESS  target reg address
+ * VALUE    (write) value to be updated
+ *
+ * OPTIONS
+ *  -d|-dec            (read) output in decimal
+ *  -h|-hexa           (read) output in 0x-hexa (default)
+ *  -l|-w|-b           32bit (default), 16bit or 8bit reg access
+ *  -m|-mask MASK      0x-hexa mask (default 0xFFFFFFFF)
+ *  -s|-shift SHIFT    bit shift value (read:left, write:right)
+ *  -o|-offset OFFSET  address offset to add to ADDRESS value
+ *
+ * Warning: bit shift operation is applied to bit-mask.
+ * Warning: bit shift direction depends on read or right command.
