Subject: RE: [PATCH] Documentation: rapidio: move sysfs interface to ABI

For users convenience and  due to limited use of RapidIO I would prefer to keep all subsystem documentation in one place.
Also, having text file in free format gives us ability to easily add explanations and examples which we cannot have
in ABI documentation format.

If converting this file into ABI doc is absolutely necessary:
- please keep the original sysfs.txt with a single statement that directs  reader to the ABI docs.
- see comments below

The note above used without explanatory context changes the idea: it sounds like enumerator's destID is always 1.

The "destid" attribute must be here: it is common for all RapidIO devices. Must be note explaining a different role for switches.

Edited description:
	(RW) Binary attribute to read from and write to the device configuration
	Registers using the RapidIO maintenance transactions. This attribute is
	similar in behavior to the "config" attribute of PCI devices and
	provides an access to the RapidIO device registers using
	standard file read and write operations.

"number of hops on the path to the switch" is not from there. See "hopcount" below.

The "destid" attribute should be described where marked above. Just make a note that for switches it identifies a route
by reporting destid of an associated device.
