+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes a file system that can be enabled to assist
+with the debugging of devices that use managed reources
+
+Outline of Operation
+====================
+
+Setting the flag DEVRES_DEBUGFS (depends on DEBUG_DEVRES) enables a
+debug facility for device managed resources. This takes the form of
+a directory in the debugfs file system which is a pseudo file system
+(typically mounted at /sys/kernel/debug) similar in concept to sysfs
+but with no restrictions on the format of the data read from a file.
+
+The directory (devres/) is created the first time a managed resource
+is allocated for any device.
+
+The first time a managed resource is allocated for a device, a file
+with the same name as the device is created in devres/.
+
+The file is read only and can be read by normal userspace utilities
+(such as cat).
+
+The data returned is in ASCII text format and has one header line for
+the device followed by one line per allocated resource.
+
+It is possible to seek to a given line within the file: position 0
+(zero) goes directly to the device line, position 1 goes to the first
+resource line and so on. Attempting to seek to a line that does not
+exist returns EOF.
+
+If opened and read sequentially, a file will initially give Line 0 (see
+below) and then each subsequent read will give a Resource Line until
+EOF. Note that the data may change on the fly (see Notes below).
+
+Data Format
+===========
+
+Device Line (Line 0)
+--------------------
+
+dev: <address> <name>
+
+There is a single space between each field.
+
+dev: = literal text identifying this as a device line.
+
+<address> = the address in kernel memory of the device data structure.
+The layout of "struct device" can be found in include/linux/device.h.
+This value is displayed in hexadecimal format using the "%p" format
+specifier and thus will vary in length depending on the word size of
+the kernel, e.g. 8 characters for a 32 bit kernel.
+
+<name> = the name of the device. This should be the same as the file
+name, it is included to facilitate identification when multiple
+devices are being listed. The length of this field can vary.
+
+Resource Line (Line 1 et seq.)
+------------------------------
+
+res: <address> <length> <data> <name>
+
+There is a single space between each field.
+
+res: = literal text identifying this as a resource line.
+
+<address> = the address in kernel memory of the resource data. The
+structure pointed to can vary depending on the type of resource.
+This field is encoded in hexadecimal format using the "%p" format
+specifier and thus will vary in length depending on the word size of
+the kernel, e.g. 8 characters for a 32 bit kernel.
+
+<length> = the length of the resource data. This field is encoded
+in decimal format, right justified, space filled and is always 9
+characters long.
+
+<data> = a hexadecimal display of the first 16 (or <length> if less)
+bytes of data starting for location <address>. If <length> is less
+than 16, this field is padded with spaces on the right to the full
+32 characters.
+
+<name> = a string indentifying the resource type. This is often a
+string containing the name of the function to be used to free the
+resource. Typical examples are "devm_kzalloc_release" which identifies
+a memory resource and "devm_gpio_release" which identifies a gpio
+resource. The length of this field can vary.
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+1. Once created, a file persists until the device is removed even
+ if all allocated resources are freed. This means that the existence
+ of the file is confirmation that at least one resource has been
+ allocated at some point, even if the device now has none allocated.
+
+2. Opening a file and holding it open will prevent the freeing up of
+ of the device - the final removal is held off until the file is
+ closed. Managed resources can still be freed if, say, a driver is
+ removed.
+
+3. Resources can, in principle, be allocated and freed on the fly so
+ it should not be assumed in general that seeking to a particular
+ resource line will always return the same resource. However, that is
+ a function of the device driver concerned and it may be a valid
+ assumption for some drivers, e.g. one that only allocates resources
+ during its .probe function.
+
+4. The device's list of resources is traversed from its base to the
+ requested item each time the file is read. During this scan resources
+ are spinlocked, which may have implications if resources can be
+ allocated during time critical code at the same time as a read is
+ taking place.
+
+5. A copy is taken of (up to) 16 bytes of resource data while the
+ spinlock (see note 4, above) is still in place and so can be relied
+ upon as an accurate snapshot at the time of the read but it must be
+ remembered that resources may change dynamically (see note 3, above)
+ so the memory may have changed subsequently.
+
+Sample Output
+=============
+
+root@arm:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/devres/mmc0
+dev: ed980008 mmc0
+res: ed95a618 50 000000004884e8800001000039a695ed devm_kzalloc_release
+res: ed95cc58 4 02000000 devm_gpio_release
+res: ed95cc98 8 a2000000000098ed devm_irq_release
+root@arm:~#
+
+This shows three managed resources allocated to device "mmc0".
+
+1. A block of memory 50 bytes long (the first 16 byte are displayed).
+2. A GPIO.
+3. An IRQ.
+
+If 16 bytes of data is insufficient, you can try using other debugging
+tools to examine the data.
