+fwctl cxl driver
+================
+
+:Author: Dave Jiang
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The CXL spec defines a set of commands that can be issued to the mailbox of a
+CXL device or switch. It also left room for vendor specific commands to be
+issued to the mailbox as well. fwctl provides a path to issue a set of allowed
+mailbox commands from user space to the device moderated by the kernel driver.
+
+The following 3 commands will be used to support CXL Features:
+CXL spec r3.1 8.2.9.6.1 Get Supported Features (Opcode 0500h)
+CXL spec r3.1 8.2.9.6.2 Get Feature (Opcode 0501h)
+CXL spec r3.1 8.2.9.6.3 Set Feature (Opcode 0502h)
+
+The "Get Supported Features" return data may be filtered by the kernel driver to
+drop any features that are forbidden by the kernel or being exclusively used by
+the kernel. The driver will set the "Set Feature Size" of the "Get Supported
+Features Supported Feature Entry" to 0 to indicate that the Feature cannot be
+modifed. The "Get Supported Features" command and the "Get Features" falls
+under the fwctl policy of FWCTL_RPC_CONFIGURATION.
+
+For "Set Feature" command, the access policy currently is broken down into two
+categories depending on the Set Feature effects reported by the device. If the
+Set Feature will cause immediate change to the device, the fwctl access policy
+must be FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_WRITE_FULL. The effects for this level are
+"immediate config change", "immediate data change", "immediate policy change",
+or "immediate log change" for the set effects mask. If the effects are "config
+change with cold reset" or "config change with conventional reset", then the
+fwctl access policy must be FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_WRITE or higher.
+
+fwctl cxl User API
+==================
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/fwctl/cxl.h
+.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/cxl/features.h
+
+1. Driver info query
+--------------------
+
+First step for the app is to issue the ioctl(FWCTL_CMD_INFO). Successful
+invocation of the ioctl implies the Features capability is operational and
+returns an all zeros 32bit payload. A ``struct fwctl_info`` needs to be filled
+out with the ``fwctl_info.out_device_type`` set to ``FWCTL_DEVICE_TYPE_CXL``.
+The return data should be ``struct fwctl_info_cxl`` that contains a reserved
+32bit field that should be all zeros.
+
+2. Send hardware commands
+-------------------------
+
+Next step is to send the 'Get Supported Features' command to the driver from
+user space via ioctl(FWCTL_RPC). A ``struct fwctl_rpc_cxl`` is pointed to
+by ``fwctl_rpc.in``. ``struct fwctl_rpc_cxl.in_payload`` points to
+the hardware input structure that is defined by the CXL spec. ``fwctl_rpc.out``
+points to the buffer that contains a ``struct fwctl_rpc_cxl_out`` that includes
+the hardware output data inlined as ``fwctl_rpc_cxl_out.payload``. This command
+is called twice. First time to retrieve the number of features supported.
+A second time to retrieve the specific feature details as the output data.
+
+After getting the specific feature details, a Get/Set Feature command can be
+appropriately programmed and sent. For a "Set Feature" command, the retrieved
+feature info contains an effects field that details the resulting
+"Set Feature" command will trigger. That will inform the user whether
+the system is configured to allowed the "Set Feature" command or not.

+                rpc.size = sizeof(rpc);
+                rpc.scope = FWCTL_RPC_CONFIGURATION;
+                rpc.in_len = sizeof(in);
+                rpc.out_len = out_size;
+                rpc.in = (uint64_t)(uint64_t *)&in;
+                rpc.out = (uint64_t)(uint64_t *)out;
+
+                rc = send_command(fd, &rpc, out);
+                if (rc)
+                        goto out;
+
+                val = le32toh(*(__le32 *)data);
+                if (memcmp(&val, &expected_data, sizeof(val)) != 0) {
+                        rc = -ENXIO;
+                        goto out;
+                }
+
+        out:
+                free(out);
+                return rc;
+        }
+
+It is recommended to take a look at CXL CLI test directory
+<https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/tree/main/test/fwctl.c> for a detailed user code
+example on how to exercise this path.
