+GPIO Testing Driver
+===================
+
+The GPIO Testing Driver (gpio-mockup) provides a way to create simulated GPIO
+chips for testing purposes. The lines exposed by these chips can be accessed
+using the standard GPIO character device interface as well as manipulated
+using the dedicated debugfs directory structure.
+
+Creating simulated chips using module params
+--------------------------------------------
+
+When loading the gpio-mockup driver a number of parameters can be passed to the
+module.
+
+ gpio_mockup_ranges
+
+ This parameter takes an argument in the form of an array of integer
+ pairs. Each pair defines the base GPIO number (non-negative integer)
+ and the first number after the last of this chip. If the base GPIO
+ is -1, the gpiolib will assign it automatically. while the following
+ parameter is the number of lines exposed by the chip.
+
+ Example: gpio_mockup_ranges=-1,8,-1,16,405,409
+
+ The line above creates three chips. The first one will expose 8 lines,
+ the second 16 and the third 4. The base GPIO for the third chip is set
+ to 405 while for two first chips it will be assigned automatically.
+
+ gpio_mockup_named_lines
+
+ This parameter doesn't take any arguments. It lets the driver know that
+ GPIO lines exposed by it should be named.
+
+ The name format is: gpio-mockup-X-Y where X is mockup chip's ID
+ and Y is the line offset.
+
+Manipulating simulated lines
+----------------------------
+
+Each mockup chip creates its own subdirectory in /sys/kernel/debug/gpio-mockup/.
+The directory is named after the chip's label. A symlink is also created, named
+after the chip's name, which points to the label directory.
+
+Inside each subdirectory, there's a separate attribute for each GPIO line. The
+name of the attribute represents the line's offset in the chip.
+
+Reading from a line attribute returns the current value. Writing to it (0 or 1)
+changes the configuration of the simulated pull-up/pull-down resistor
+(1 - pull-up, 0 - pull-down).
