+Description:
+ Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) regulatory mode is typically
+ derived based on information like mcc (Mobile Country Code) and
+ mnc (Mobile Network Code) that is available for the currently
+ attached LTE network. A userspace application is required to set
+ the current SAR regulatory mode on the Dynamic SAR driver using
+ this sysfs node. Such an application can also read back using
+ this sysfs node, the currently configured regulatory mode value
+ from the Dynamic SAR driver.
+
+ Acceptable regulatory modes are:
+ == ====
+ 0 FCC
+ 1 CE
+ 2 ISED
+ == ====
+
+ - The regulatory mode value has one of the above values.
+ - The default regulatory mode used in the driver is 0.

+Description:
+ This sysfs entry is used to retrieve Dynamic SAR information
+ emitted/maintained by a BIOS that supports Dynamic SAR.
+
+ The retrieved information is in the order given below:
+ - device_mode
+ - bandtable_index
+ - antennatable_index
+ - sartable_index
+
+ The above information is sent as integer values separated
+ by a single space. This information can then be pushed to a
+ WWAN modem that uses this to control the transmit signal
+ level using the Band/Antenna/SAR table index information.
+ These parameters are derived/decided by aggregating
+ device-mode like laptop/tablet/clamshell etc. and the
+ proximity-sensor data available to the embedded controller on
+ given host. The regulatory mode configured on Dynamic SAR
+ driver also influences these values.
+
+ The userspace applications can poll for changes to this file
+ using POLLPRI event on file-descriptor (fd) obtained by opening
+ this sysfs entry. Application can then read this information from
+ the sysfs node and consume the given information.
