Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation: ABI: add sysfs interface for ZynqMP CSU registers
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 04:42:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408114244.2852015-2-ronak.jain@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408114244.2852015-1-ronak.jain@amd.com>

Document the new sysfs interface that exposes Configuration Security
Unit (CSU) registers through the zynqmp-firmware driver.

The interface is available under:

  /sys/devices/platform/firmware:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/

The CSU registers are discovered at boot time using the PM_QUERY_DATA
firmware API. The following registers are currently supported:

  - multiboot     (CSU_MULTI_BOOT)
  - idcode        (CSU_IDCODE, read-only)
  - pcap-status   (CSU_PCAP_STATUS, read-only)

Read operations use the existing IOCTL_READ_REG firmware interface,
while write operations use IOCTL_MASK_WRITE_REG.

Access control is enforced by the firmware. Write attempts to
read-only registers are rejected by firmware even though the sysfs file
permissions allow writes.

Document the ABI entry accordingly.

+Description:
+		Read/Write CSU (Configuration Security Unit) registers.
+
+		This interface provides dynamic access to CSU registers that are
+		discovered from the firmware at boot time using PM_QUERY_DATA API.
+
+		The supported registers are:
+
+		- multiboot: CSU_MULTI_BOOT register
+		- idcode: CSU_IDCODE register (read-only)
+		- pcap-status: CSU_PCAP_STATUS register (read-only)
+
+		Read operations use the existing IOCTL_READ_REG API.
+		Write operations use the existing IOCTL_MASK_WRITE_REG API.
+
+		The firmware enforces access control - read-only registers will reject
+		write attempts even though the sysfs permissions show write access.
+
+		Usage for reading::
+
+		    # cat /sys/devices/platform/firmware\:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/multiboot
+		    # cat /sys/devices/platform/firmware\:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/idcode
+
+		Usage for writing (mask and value are in hexadecimal)::
+
+		    # echo 0xFFFFFFF 0x0 > /sys/devices/platform/firmware\:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/multiboot
