+What:		/sys/devices/socX
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each
+		System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information
+		regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This
+		functionality is only available if implemented by the platform.
+
+		The directory created for each SoC will also house information
+		about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform.
+		It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported
+		devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/socX/machine
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains the SoC machine
+		name (e.g. Ux500).
+
+What:		/sys/devices/socX/family
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains SoC family name
+		(e.g. DB8500).
+
+What:		/sys/devices/socX/soc_id
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of
+		ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/socX/revision
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. Contains the SoC's
+		manufacturing revision number.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/socX/process
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		Read-only attribute supported ST-Ericsson's silicon. Contains the
+		the process by which the silicon chip was manufactured.
+
+What:		/sys/bus/soc
+Date:		January 2012
+contact:	Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders
+		expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular
+		interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on
+		the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned
+		/sys/devices/socX devices.
