+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/soc directory contains a sub-directory for each
+ System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information
+ regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This
+ functionallity is only available if implemented by the platform.
+ This directory contains two kinds of attributes:
+ - Common attributes:
+ * machine: the name of the machine (e.g. Ux500).
+ * family: the family name of the SoC (e.g. DB8500).
+ - SoC-specific attributes:
+ * SoC vendor declared, such as serial and rev numbers.
+Users:
+ Any platform dependent user-space applications or profiling tools.
