On AMD platforms the Out-of-band access is provided by Advanced Platform Management Link (APML), APML is a SMBus v2.0 compatible 2-wire processor client interface. APML is also referred as the sideband interface (SBI). APML is used to communicate with the Side-Band Remote Management Interface (SB-RMI) which provides Soft Mailbox messages to manage power consumption and power limits of the CPU socket. - This module add support to read power consumption, power limit & max power limit and write power limit. - To instantiate this driver on a Board Management Controller (BMC) connected to an AMD CPU with SB-RMI support, the i2c bus number would be the bus connected from the BMC to the CPU.

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 Restructured Text 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.
