+This document defines the sysfs attributes common to the bmc device class. See
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/bmc-misc-ctrl.txt for exhaustive list of
+field definitions.
+
+What:		/sys/class/bmc/<field>/label
+Date:		July, 2018
+KernelVersion:	v4.19
+Contact:	openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+Description:
+		The name of the field of interest. Corresponds to the value of
+		<field> in the path
+Users:		openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+
+What:		/sys/class/bmc/<field>/value
+Date:		July, 2018
+KernelVersion:	v4.19
+Contact:	openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+Description:
+		The value of the field of interest.
+
+		If the field is exposed from a read-modify-write register this
+		attribute will be RW, where writes will set the field to the
+		value written. Writing values that exceed the width of the
+		field will return an error.
+
+		If the field is exposed from a write-1-set/write-1-clear
+		register this attribute will be RO, and the attributes 'set'
+		and 'clear' will be present as write-only.
+Users:		openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+
+What:		/sys/class/bmc/<field>/mask
+Date:		July, 2018
+KernelVersion:	v4.19
+Contact:	openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+Description:
+		The mask applied to the value read/written from the 'value'
+		attribute.
+Users:		openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org

+What:		/sys/class/bmc/<field>/set
+Users:		openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+Date:		July, 2018
+KernelVersion:	v4.19
+Contact:	openbmc@...ts.ozlabs.org
+Description:
+		For fields backed by write-1-set/write-1-clear registers,
+		set bits in the value written will be set in hardware. Zero
+		values are ignored. Writing values that exceed the width of the
+		mask value will return an error.

+Description:
+		For fields backed by write-1-set/write-1-clear registers,
+		set bits in the value written will be cleared in hardware. Zero
+		values are ignored. Writing values that exceed the width of the
+		mask value will return an error.
