get paths between endpoints and set their bandwidth/latency/QoS requirements
for these interconnect paths. These interfaces are not currently
documented.

+Interconnect debugfs interfaces
+-------------------------------
+
+Like several other subsystems interconnect will create some files for debugging
+and introspection. Files in debugfs are not considered ABI so application
+software shouldn't rely on format details change between kernel versions.
+
+``/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_summary``:
+
+Show all interconnect nodes in the system with their aggregated bandwidth
+request. Indented under each node show bandwidth requests from each device.
+
+``/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph``:
+
+Show the interconnect graph in the graphviz dot format. It shows all
+interconnect nodes and links in the system and groups together nodes from the
+same provider as subgraphs. The format is human-readable and can also be piped
+through dot to generate diagrams in many graphical formats::
+
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph | \
+ dot -Tsvg > interconnect_graph.svg
+
+The ``test-client`` directory provides interfaces for issuing BW requests to
+any arbitrary path. Note that for safety reasons, this feature is disabled by
+default without a Kconfig to enable it. Enabling it requires code changes to
+``#define INTERCONNECT_ALLOW_WRITE_DEBUGFS``. Example usage::
+
+ cd /sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/test-client/
+
+ # Configure node endpoints for the path from CPU to DDR on
+ # qcom/sm8550.
+ echo chm_apps > src_node
+ echo ebi > dst_node
+
+ # Get path between src_node and dst_node. This is only
+ # necessary after updating the node endpoints.
+ echo 1 > get
+
+ # Set desired BW to 1GBps avg and 2GBps peak.
+ echo 1000000 > avg_bw
+ echo 2000000 > peak_bw
+
+ # Vote for avg_bw and peak_bw on the latest path from "get".
+ # Voting for multiple paths is possible by repeating this
+ # process for different nodes endpoints.
