Merge tag 'soc-attr-updates-5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sudeep.holla/linux into arm/drivers
SoC attributes update for v5.9 1. Addition of ARM SMCCC ARCH_SOC_ID support 2. Usage of the custom soc attribute groups already supported in the infrastucture instead of device_create_file which eliminates the need for any cleanup when soc is unregistered 3. Minor clean up switching to use standard DEVICE_ATTR_RO() instead of direct __ATTR * tag 'soc-attr-updates-5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sudeep.holla/linux: firmware: smccc: Add ARCH_SOC_ID support ARM: OMAP2: Use custom soc attribute group instead of device_create_file ARM: OMAP2: Switch to use DEVICE_ATTR_RO() soc: ux500: Use custom soc attribute group instead of device_create_file soc: ux500: Switch to use DEVICE_ATTR_RO() soc: integrator: Use custom soc attribute group instead of device_create_file soc: integrator: Switch to use DEVICE_ATTR_RO() soc: realview: Use custom soc attribute group instead of device_create_file soc: realview: Switch to use DEVICE_ATTR_RO() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200706165312.40697-1-sudeep.holla@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains SoC family name
(e.g. DB8500).
+ On many of ARM based silicon with SMCCC v1.2+ compliant firmware
+ this will contain the JEDEC JEP106 manufacturer’s identification
+ code. The format is "jep106:XXYY" where XX is identity code and
+ YY is continuation code.
+
+ This manufacturer’s identification code is defined by one
+ or more eight (8) bit fields, each consisting of seven (7)
+ data bits plus one (1) odd parity bit. It is a single field,
+ limiting the possible number of vendors to 126. To expand
+ the maximum number of identification codes, a continuation
+ scheme has been defined.
+
+ The specified mechanism is that an identity code of 0x7F
+ represents the "continuation code" and implies the presence
+ of an additional identity code field, and this mechanism
+ may be extended to multiple continuation codes followed
+ by the manufacturer's identity code.
+
+ For example, ARM has identity code 0x7F 0x7F 0x7F 0x7F 0x3B,
+ which is code 0x3B on the fifth 'page'. This is shortened
+ as JEP106 identity code of 0x3B and a continuation code of
+ 0x4 to represent the four continuation codes preceding the
+ identity code.
