+			ACPI Debug Output
+
+
+The ACPI CA, the Linux ACPI core, and some ACPI drivers can generate debug
+output.  This document describes how to use this facility.
+
+Compile-time configuration
+--------------------------
+
+ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG.  If this config
+option is turned off, the debug messages are not even built into the
+kernel.
+
+Boot- and run-time configuration
+--------------------------------
+
+When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages
+you're interested in.  At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and
+acpi.debug_level kernel command line options.  After boot, you can use the
+debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control
+the debug messages.
+
+debug_layer (component)
+-----------------------
+
+The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a
+specific driver or part of the ACPI interpreter.  To build the debug_layer
+bitmask, look for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file.
+
+You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer
+command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
+to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
+
+The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h and
+include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h.  Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
+shows the supported mask values, currently these:
+
+    ACPI_UTILITIES                  0x00000001
+    ACPI_HARDWARE                   0x00000002

+    ACPI_MEMORY_DEVICE_COMPONENT    0x08000000
+    ACPI_VIDEO_COMPONENT            0x10000000
+    ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT        0x20000000
+
+debug_level
+-----------
+
+The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g.,
+those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc.
+To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
+statement.
+
+The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux
+ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO.
+
+You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level
+command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
+to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
+
+The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h.  Reading
+/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level shows the supported mask values,
+currently these:
+
+    ACPI_LV_INIT                    0x00000001
+    ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT            0x00000002

+    ACPI_LV_EVENTS                  0x80000000
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+For example, drivers/acpi/bus.c contains this:
+
+    #define _COMPONENT              ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
+    ...
+    ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "Device insertion detected\n"));
+
+To turn on this message, set the ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT bit in acpi.debug_layer
+and the ACPI_LV_INFO bit in acpi.debug_level.  (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
+statement uses ACPI_DB_INFO, which is macro based on the ACPI_LV_INFO
+definition.)
+
+Enable all AML "Debug" output (stores to the Debug object while interpreting
+AML) during boot:
+
+    acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
+
+Enable PCI and PCI interrupt routing debug messages:
+
+    acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
+
+Enable all ACPI hardware-related messages:
+
+    acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
+
+Enable all ACPI_DB_INFO messages after boot:
+
+    # echo 0x4 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
+
+Show all valid component values:
+
+    # cat /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer

+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs)
+C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers.
+
+By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2
+or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems
+where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins.
+
+References
+----------
+
+The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com)
+Silicon Laboratories site], see:
+
+- AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at
+http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Microcontrollers/Small_Form_Factor/en/an127.pdf, and
+
+- C2 Specification at
+http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/spec/Microcontrollers/en/C2spec.pdf,
+
+however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit
+banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and
+boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently
+this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to
+add.
+
+Using the driver
+----------------
+
+Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's
+info or read/write in-system flash.
+
+# ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/
+access            flash_block_size  flash_erase       rev_id
+dev_id            flash_blocks_num  flash_size        subsystem/
+flash_access      flash_data        reset             uevent
+
+Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have
+such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the
+C2port, you need the command:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access
+
+after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the
+connected micro controller:
