In order to surface the ASIC revision to user level, we want to put it into the HSA topology. This can be because different ASIC revisions may require user-level software to do different things (e.g. patch code for things that are changed in later hardware revisions). The ASIC revision from the hardware is maximum of 4 bits at this time, so put it into 4 of the open bits in the HSA capability. Then user-level software can use this capability information to know -- for each ASIC -- what revision-based things must be done.

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.
