@@ -51,3 +51,30 @@ The char device has the following semantics:
* The poll call will also be supported for userspace applications that
need to do other things while waiting for the command to complete.
+
+The following IOCTLs are also supported by the device:
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_FLASH_INFO - Retrieve firmware length and number
+ of partitions in the device.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_FLASH_PART_INFO - Retrieve address and lengeth for
+ any specified partition in flash.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_SUMMARY - Read a structure of bitmaps
+ indicating all uncleared events.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_CTL - Get the current count, clear and set flags
+ for any event. This ioctl takes in a switchtec_ioctl_event_ctl struct
+ with the event_id, index and flags set (index being the partition or PFF
+ number for non-global events). It returns whether the event has
+ occurred, the number of times and any event specific data. The flags
+ can be used to clear the count or enable and disable actions to
+ happen when the event occurs.
+ By using the SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_FLAG_EN_POLL flag,
+ you can set an event to trigger a poll command to return with
+ POLLPRI. In this way, userspace can wait for events to occur.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_PFF_TO_PORT and SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_PORT_TO_PFF convert
+ between PCI Function Framework number (used by the event system)
+ and Switchtec Logic Port ID and Partition number (which is more
+ user friendly).
