+Description:
+		Contains the First Failure Data Capture from the SBEFIFO
+		hardware, if there is any from a previous transfer. Otherwise,
+		the file is empty. The data is cleared when it's been
+		completely read by a user. As the name suggests, only the data
+		from the first error is saved, until it's cleared upon read. The OCC hwmon driver, running on
+		a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), communicates with
+		POWER9 and up processors over the Self-Boot Engine (SBE) FIFO.
+		In many error conditions, the SBEFIFO will return error data
+		indicating the type of error and system state, etc.
