These files are shared with firmware sources. Only a subset of these
definitions are used by driver but, for now, it is easier to import all.
API defines 3 kinds of messages:
- Requests (req) are sent from host to chip
- Confirmations (cnf) are sent by chip and are always in reply to a
request
- Indications (ind) are spontaneous message from chip to host
One request normally generate one confirmation. There are a few
exceptions to this rule:
- "shutdown" request is not acknowledged
- multiple tx request can be acknowledged a unique "multi-tx"
confirmation
In add, API defines MIB. They are sub-structures for write_mib and
read_mib API.
Note that all numbers in API have to be little endian when sent/received
from/to chip (I didn't declared them with __le32 because driver also use
them internally).

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.
