[PATCH v4 16/31] firmware: arm_scmi: Add common per-protocol debugfs support

Cristian Marussi cristian.marussi at arm.com
Fri Jun 12 15:37:46 PDT 2026


Allow interested SCMI protocols to register their own specific debugfs
entries under a common per-instance and per-protocol subtree rooted
at /sys/kernel/debug/scmi/<N>/protocols/<PROTO_ID>/

Expose a helper to enable protocol initialization code to get access to
such per-protocol/per-instance dentries in order to be able to install
their own dedicated debugfs entries.

Per-protocol debugfs support is configurable and default off.
