+Description:
+		A sysfs interface for systems management software to enable
+		configuration capability on supported systems.  This directory
+		exposes interfaces for interacting with configuration options.
+
+		Unless otherwise specified in an attribute description all attributes are optional
+		and will accept UTF-8 input.
+
+		type:
+		    A file that can be read to obtain the type of attribute.
+		    This attribute is mandatory.
+
+		The following are known types:
+
+			- enumeration: a set of pre-defined valid values
+			- integer: a range of numerical values
+			- string
+
+		All attribute types support the following values:
+
+		current_value:
+				A file that can be read to obtain the current
+				value of the <attr>.
+
+				This file can also be written to in order to update the value of a
+				<attr>
+
+				This attribute is mandatory.
+
+		default_value:
+				A file that can be read to obtain the default
+				value of the <attr>
+
+		display_name:
+				A file that can be read to obtain a user friendly
+				description of the at <attr>
+
+		display_name_language_code:
+						A file that can be read to obtain
+						the IETF language tag corresponding to the
+						"display_name" of the <attr>
+
+		"enumeration"-type specific properties:
+
+		possible_values:
+					A file that can be read to obtain the possible
+					values of the <attr>. Values are separated using
+					semi-colon (``;``).
+
+		"integer"-type specific properties:
+
+		min_value:
+				A file that can be read to obtain the lower
+				bound value of the <attr>
+
+		max_value:
+				A file that can be read to obtain the upper
+				bound value of the <attr>
+
+		scalar_increment:
+					A file that can be read to obtain the scalar value used for
+					increments of current_value this attribute accepts.
+
+		"string"-type specific properties:
+
+		max_length:
+				A file that can be read to obtain the maximum
+				length value of the <attr>
+
+		min_length:
+				A file that can be read to obtain the minimum
+				length value of the <attr>
+
+		Dell specific class extensions
+		------------------------------
+
+		On Dell systems the following additional attributes are available:
+
+		dell_modifier:
+				A file that can be read to obtain attribute-level
+				dependency rule. It says an attribute X will become read-only or
+				suppressed, if/if-not attribute Y is configured.
+
+				modifier rules can be in following format::
+
+				    [ReadOnlyIf:<attribute>=<value>]
+				    [ReadOnlyIfNot:<attribute>=<value>]
+				    [SuppressIf:<attribute>=<value>]
+				    [SuppressIfNot:<attribute>=<value>]
+
+				For example::
+
+				    AutoOnFri/dell_modifier has value,
+					    [SuppressIfNot:AutoOn=SelectDays]
+
+				This means AutoOnFri will be suppressed in BIOS setup if AutoOn
+				attribute is not "SelectDays" and its value will not be effective
+				through sysfs until this rule is met.
+
+		Enumeration attributes also support the following:
+
+		dell_value_modifier:
+					A file that can be read to obtain value-level dependency.
+					This file is similar to dell_modifier but here,	an
+					attribute's current value will be forcefully changed based
+					dependent attributes value.
+
+					dell_value_modifier rules can be in following format::
+
+					    <value>[ForceIf:<attribute>=<value>]
+					    <value>[ForceIfNot:<attribute>=<value>]
+
+					For example::
+
+					    LegacyOrom/dell_value_modifier has value:
+						    Disabled[ForceIf:SecureBoot=Enabled]
+
+					This means LegacyOrom's current value will be forced to
+					"Disabled" in BIOS setup if SecureBoot is Enabled and its
+					value will not be effective through sysfs until this rule is
+					met.

+Description:
+		Devices support various authentication mechanisms which can be exposed
+		as a separate configuration object.
+
+		For example a "BIOS Admin" password and "System" Password can be set,
+		reset or cleared using these attributes.
+
+		- An "Admin" password is used for preventing modification to the BIOS
+		  settings.
+		- A "System" password is required to boot a machine.
+
+		Change in any of these two authentication methods will also generate an
+		uevent KOBJ_CHANGE.
+
+		is_enabled:
+					A file that can be read to obtain a 0/1 flag to see if
+					<attr> authentication is enabled.
+					This attribute is mandatory.
+
+		role:
+					The type of authentication used.
+					This attribute is mandatory.
+
+					Known types:
+						bios-admin:
+							Representing BIOS administrator password
+						power-on:
+							Representing a password required to use
+							the system
+						system-mgmt:
+							Representing System Management password.
+							See Lenovo extensions section for details
+						HDD:
+							Representing HDD password
+							See Lenovo extensions section for details
+						NVMe:
+							Representing NVMe password
+							See Lenovo extensions section for details
+
+		mechanism:
+					The means of authentication.  This attribute is mandatory.
+					Only supported type currently is "password".
+
+		max_password_length:
+					A file that can be read to obtain the
+					maximum length of the Password
+
+		min_password_length:
+					A file that can be read to obtain the
+					minimum length of the Password
+
+		current_password:
+					A write only value used for privileged access such as
+					setting	attributes when a system or admin password is set
+					or resetting to a new password
+
+					This attribute is mandatory when mechanism == "password".
+
+		new_password:
+					A write only value that when used in tandem with
+					current_password will reset a system or admin password.
+
+		Note, password management is session specific. If Admin password is set,
+		same password must be written into current_password file (required for
+		password-validation) and must be cleared once the session is over.
+		For example::
+
+			echo "password" > current_password
+			echo "disabled" > TouchScreen/current_value
+			echo "" > current_password
+
+		Drivers may emit a CHANGE uevent when a password is set or unset
+		userspace may check it again.
+
+		On Dell and Lenovo systems, if Admin password is set, then all BIOS attributes
+		require password validation.
+		On Lenovo systems if you change the Admin password the new password is not active until
+		the next boot.
+
+		Lenovo specific class extensions
+		--------------------------------
+
+		On Lenovo systems the following additional settings are available:
+
+		role: system-mgmt	This gives the same authority as the bios-admin password to control
+					security related features. The authorities allocated can be set via
+					the BIOS menu SMP Access Control Policy
+
+		role: HDD & NVMe	This password is used to unlock access to the drive at boot. Note see
+					'level' and 'index' extensions below.
+
+		lenovo_encoding:
+					The encoding method that is used. This can be either "ascii"
+					or "scancode". Default is set to "ascii"
+
+		lenovo_kbdlang:
+					The keyboard language method that is used. This is generally a
+					two char code (e.g. "us", "fr", "gr") and may vary per platform.
+					Default is set to "us"
+
+		level:
+					Available for HDD and NVMe authentication to set 'user' or 'master'
+					privilege level.
+					If only the user password is configured then this should be used to
+					unlock the drive at boot. If both master and user passwords are set
+					then either can be used. If a master password is set a user password
+					is required.
+					This attribute defaults to 'user' level
+
+		index:
+					Used with HDD and NVME authentication to set the drive index
+					that is being referenced (e.g hdd0, hdd1 etc)
+					This attribute defaults to device 0.
+
+		certificate, signature, save_signature:
+					These attributes are used for certificate based authentication. This is
+					used in conjunction with a signing server as an alternative to password
+					based authentication.
+					The user writes to the attribute(s) with a BASE64 encoded string obtained
+					from the signing server.
+					The attributes can be displayed to check the stored value.
+
+					Some usage examples:
+
+						Installing a certificate to enable feature::
+
+							echo "supervisor password" > authentication/Admin/current_password
+							echo "signed certificate" > authentication/Admin/certificate
+
+						Updating the installed certificate::
+
+							echo "signature" > authentication/Admin/signature
+							echo "signed certificate" > authentication/Admin/certificate
+
+						Removing the installed certificate::
+
+							echo "signature" > authentication/Admin/signature
+							echo "" > authentication/Admin/certificate
+
+						Changing a BIOS setting::
+
+							echo "signature" > authentication/Admin/signature
+							echo "save signature" > authentication/Admin/save_signature
+							echo Enable > attribute/PasswordBeep/current_value
+
+					You cannot enable certificate authentication if a supervisor password
+					has not been set.
+					Clearing the certificate results in no bios-admin authentication method
+					being configured allowing anyone to make changes.
+					After any of these operations the system must reboot for the changes to
+					take effect.
+
+		certificate_thumbprint:
+					Read only attribute used to display the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 thumbprints
+					for the certificate installed in the BIOS.
+
+		certificate_to_password:
+					Write only attribute used to switch from certificate based authentication
+					back to password based.
+					Usage::
+
+						echo "signature" > authentication/Admin/signature
+						echo "password" > authentication/Admin/certificate_to_password

+Description:
+		A read-only attribute reads 1 if a reboot is necessary to apply
+		pending BIOS attribute changes. Also, an uevent_KOBJ_CHANGE is
+		generated when it changes to 1.
+
+			==	=========================================
+			0	All BIOS attributes setting are current
+			1	A reboot is necessary to get pending BIOS
+			        attribute changes applied
+			==	=========================================
+
+		Note, userspace applications need to follow below steps for efficient
+		BIOS management,
+
+		1.	Check if admin password is set. If yes, follow session method for
+			password management as briefed under authentication section above.
+		2.	Before setting any attribute, check if it has any modifiers
+			or value_modifiers. If yes, incorporate them and then modify
+			attribute.
+
+		Drivers may emit a CHANGE uevent when this value changes and userspace
+		may check it again.

+Description:
+		This attribute can be used to reset the BIOS Configuration.
+		Specifically, it tells which type of reset BIOS configuration is being
+		requested on the host.
+
+		Reading from it returns a list of supported options encoded as:
+
+			- 'builtinsafe' (Built in safe configuration profile)
+			- 'lastknowngood' (Last known good saved configuration profile)
+			- 'factory' (Default factory settings configuration profile)
+			- 'custom' (Custom saved configuration profile)
+
+		The currently selected option is printed in square brackets as
+		shown below::

+Description:
+		This write only attribute can be used to send debug commands to the BIOS.
+		This should only be used when recommended by the BIOS vendor. Vendors may
+		use it to enable extra debug attributes or BIOS features for testing purposes.
+
+		Note that any changes to this attribute requires a reboot for changes to take effect.
