+description:
+  The Aspeed UART routing control allow to dynamically route the inputs for
+  the built-in UARTS and physical serial I/O ports.
+
+  This allows, for example, to connect the output of UART to another UART.
+  This can be used to enable Host <-> BMC communication via UARTs, e.g. to
+  allow access to the Host's serial console.
+
+  This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC userspace
+  which owns the system configuration policy, to configure how UARTs and
+  physical serial I/O ports are routed.
+
+  Two types of files, uart* and io*, are presented in sysfs. The uart*
+  configures the input signal of a UART controller whereas io* configures
+  that of a physical serial port.
+
+  When read, each file shows the list of available options with currently
+  selected option marked by brackets "[]". The list of available options
+  depends on the selected file.
+
+  e.g.
+  cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/aspeed-uart-routing/*.uart_routing/uart1
+  [io1] io2 io3 io4 uart2 uart3 uart4 io6
+
+  In this case, UART1 gets its input from IO1 (physical serial port 1).
