+Kernel driver sg2042-mcu
+========================

+Supported chips:
+
+ * Onboard MCU for sg2042

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supprts hardware monitoring for onboard MCU with
+i2c interface.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate
+the devices explicitly.
+Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for details.
+
+Sysfs Attributes
+----------------
+
+The following table shows the standard entries support by the driver:
+
+================= =====================================================
+Name Description
+================= =====================================================
+temp1_input Measured temperature of SoC
+temp1_crit Critical high temperature
+temp1_crit_hyst hysteresis temperature restore from Critical
+temp2_input Measured temperature of the base board
+================= =====================================================
+
+The following table shows the extra entries support by the driver
+(the MCU device is in i2c subsystem):
+
+================= ======= =============================================
+Name Perm Description
+================= ======= =============================================
+reset_count RO Reset count of the SoC
+uptime RO Seconds after the MCU is powered
+reset_reason RO Reset reason for the last reset
+repower_policy RW Execution policy when triggering repower
+================= ======= =============================================
+
+``repower_policy``
+ The repower is triggered when the temperature of the SoC falls below
+ the hysteresis temperature after triggering a shutdown due to
+ reaching the critical temperature.
+ The valid values for this entry are "repower" and "keep". "keep" will
+ leave the SoC down when the triggering repower, and "repower" will
+ boot the SoC.
+
+Debugfs Interfaces
+------------------
+
+If debugfs is available, this driver exposes some hardware specific
+data in ``/sys/kernel/debug/sg2042-mcu/*/``.
+
+================= ======= =============================================
+Name Format Description
+================= ======= =============================================
+firmware_version 0x%02x firmware version of the MCU
+pcb_version 0x%02x version number of the base board
+board_type 0x%02x identifiers for the base board
+mcu_type %d type of the MCU: 0 is STM32, 1 is GD32
+================= ======= =============================================
