Create the class, character device and functions for a fwctl driver to un/register to the subsystem. A typical fwctl driver has a sysfs presence like: $ ls -l /dev/fwctl/fwctl0 crw------- 1 root root 250, 0 Apr 25 19:16 /dev/fwctl/fwctl0 $ ls /sys/class/fwctl/fwctl0 dev device power subsystem uevent $ ls /sys/class/fwctl/fwctl0/device/infiniband/ ibp0s10f0 $ ls /sys/class/infiniband/ibp0s10f0/device/fwctl/ fwctl0/ $ ls /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0/fwctl/fwctl0 dev device power subsystem uevent Which allows userspace to link all the multi-subsystem driver components together and learn the subsystem specific names for the device's components.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
