From c26bbb3ca9c4c58b886497efbeccac7cbd9e98a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivas Kandagatla Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 12:09:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/ABI: document the nvmem sysfs files NVMEM has been in kernel since v4.2 but the ABI document was missing since then. userspace interface did not change since then and seems stable, so this patch documents the nvmem ABI.
