-AMD Sensor Fusion Hub
-=====================
-AMD Sensor Fusion Hub (SFH) is part of an SOC starting from Ryzen based platforms.
-The solution is working well on several OEM products. AMD SFH uses HID over PCIe bus.
-In terms of architecture it resembles ISH, however the major difference is all
-the HID reports are generated as part of the kernel driver.

-AMD HID Transport Layer
------------------------
-AMD SFH transport is also implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the AMD MP2 is
-registered as a device on this bus. Here: MP2 which is an ARM core connected to x86 for processing
-sensor data. The layer, which binds each device (AMD SFH HID driver) identifies the device type and
-registers with the hid core. Transport layer attach a constant "struct hid_ll_driver" object with
-each device. Once a device is registered with HID core, the callbacks provided via this struct are
-used by HID core to communicate with the device. AMD HID Transport layer implements the synchronous calls.

+Description
+===========
+The AMD Sensor Fushion Hub (SFH) is part of a SOC on Ryzen-based platforms.
+The SFH uses HID over PCIe bus. In terms of architecture it is much more
+resmebles like ISH. However the major difference is, that currently HID reports
+are being generated within the kernel driver.

+HID low-level driver
--------------------
-This layer is responsible to implement HID request and descriptors. As firmware is OS agnostic, HID
-client layer fills the HID request structure and descriptors. HID client layer is complex as it is
-interface between MP2 PCIe layer and HID. HID client layer initialized the MP2 PCIe layer and holds
-the instance of MP2 layer. It identifies the number of sensors connected using MP2-PCIe layer. Base
-on that allocates the DRAM address for each and every sensor and pass it to MP2-PCIe driver.On
-enumeration of each the sensor, client layer fills the HID Descriptor structure and HID input repor
-structure. HID Feature report structure is optional. The report descriptor structure varies from
-sensor to sensor.
-
-AMD MP2 PCIe layer
-------------------
-MP2 PCIe Layer is responsible for making all transactions with the firmware over PCIe.
-The connection establishment between firmware and PCIe happens here.
-
-The communication between X86 and MP2 is split into three parts.
-1. Command transfer via the C2P mailbox registers.
-2. Data transfer via DRAM.
-3. Supported sensor info via P2C registers.
-
-Commands are sent to MP2 using C2P Mailbox registers. Writing into C2P Message registers generate
-interrupt to MP2. The client layer allocates the physical memory and the same is sent to MP2 via
-the PCI layer. MP2 firmware writes the command output to the access DRAM memory which the client
-layer has allocated. Firmware always writes minimum of 32 bytes into DRAM. So as a protocol driver
-shall allocate minimum of 32 bytes DRAM space.

+The driver is conceived in a multi-layer architecture.
+The level closest to the applications is the HID low-level (LL) driver,
+which implements the functions defined by the hid-core API to manage the
+respective HID devices and process reports.
+Therefor, the HID-LL-driver starts and stops the sensors as needed by invoking
+the exposed functions from the PCI driver (see below) and creates DMA mappings
+to access the DRAM of the PCI device to retrieve feature and input reports
+from it.
+
+HID platform driver (`amd-sfh-hid`)
+-----------------------------------
+The aforementioned HID devices are being managed, i.e. created on probing and
+destroyed on removing, by the platform driver. It is being loaded through ACPI
+table matching if the PCI driver was loaded successfully.
+It determines the HID devices to be created on startup using the connected
+sensors bitmask retrieved by invoking the respective function of the PCI driver.
+On some systems the firmware does not provide the information about sensors
+connected to the SFH device. In this case, the detected sensors can be manually
+overridden by setting the driver's module parameter `sensor_mask=<int>`.
+
+PCI device driver (`amd-sfh-pci`)
+---------------------------------
+The PCI driver is responsible for making all transaction with the chip's
+firmware over PCI-e.
+The sensors are being started and stopped respectively by writing commands
+and, where applicable, DRAM addresses to certain device registers.
+The sensor's input report data can then be accessed by accessing the DRAM
+through DMA-mapped virtual addresses. Commands are sent to the device using C2P
+mail box registers. These C2P registers are mapped in PCIe address space.
+Writing into the device message registers generates interrupts. The device's
+firmware uses DRAM interface registers to indirectly access DRAM memory. It is
+recommended to always write a minimum of 32 bytes into the DRAM.

+
+Quirks
+------
+On some systems, the sensor hub has not been programmed with information about
+the sensors active on the device. This results in no sensors bein activated and
+no HID devices being spawned by the driver. To manually active the respective
+sensors, you can load the module `amd-sfh-hid` with the kernel parameter
+`sensor_mask=<int>`. The available sensors are currently:
+
++----------------------+----------+
+| sensor | mask |
++======================+==========+
+| accelerometer | BIT(0) |
+| gyroscope | BIT(1) |
+| magnetometer | BIT(2) |
+| ambient light sensor | BIT(19) |
++----------------------+----------+
+
+To enable e.g. only the accelerometer:
+
+ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/amd_sfh.conf
+ options amd_sfh_hid sensor_mask=1
