+Description:
+               The /sys/devices/ 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
+               functionality is only available if implemented by the platform.
+
+               The directory created for each SoC will also house information
+               about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform.
+               It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported
+               devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC.

+Description:
+               Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains the SoC machine
+               name (e.g. Ux500).

+Description:
+               Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of
+               ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number.

+Description:
+               Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. Contains the SoC's
+               manufacturing revision number.

+Description:
+               The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders
+               expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular
+               interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on
+               the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned
+               /sys/devices/socX devices.
