4Description:
5		This directory exposes interfaces for interacting with
6		the FSP and platform dumps through OPAL firmware interface.
7
8		This is only for the powerpc/powernv platform.
9
10		initiate_dump:	When '1' is written to it,
11				we will initiate a dump.
12				Read this file for supported commands.
13
14		0xXX-0xYYYY:	A directory for dump of type 0xXX and
15				id 0xYYYY (in hex). The name of this
16				directory should not be relied upon to
17				be in this format, only that it's unique
18				among all dumps. For determining the type
19				and ID of the dump, use the id and type files.
20				Do not rely on any particular size of dump
21				type or dump id.
22
23		Each dump has the following files:
24		id:		An ASCII representation of the dump ID
25				in hex (e.g. '0x01')
26		type:		An ASCII representation of the type of
27				dump in the format "0x%x %s" with the ID
28				in hex and a description of the dump type
29				(or 'unknown').
30				Type '0xffffffff unknown' is used when
31				we could not get the type from firmware.
32				e.g. '0x02 System/Platform Dump'
33		dump:		A binary file containing the dump.
34				The size of the dump is the size of this file.
35		acknowledge:	When 'ack' is written to this, we will
36				acknowledge that we've retrieved the
37				dump to the service processor. It will
38				then remove it, making the dump
39				inaccessible.
40				Reading this file will get a list of
41				supported actions.
