Shilpasri G Bhat 32377bd2cb powerpc/powernv: Add documentation for the opal sensor_groups sysfs interfaces
Commit bf9571550f ("powerpc/powernv: Add support to clear sensor
groups data") added a mechanism to clear sensor-group data via a sysfs
interface. However, the ABI for that interface has not been
documented.

This patch documents the ABI for the sysfs interface for sensor-groups
and clearing the sensor-groups.

What: /sys/firmware/opal/sensor_groups Date: August 2017 Contact: Linux for PowerPC mailing list linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Description: Sensor groups directory for POWER9 powernv servers

	Each folder in this directory contains a sensor group
	which are classified based on type of the sensor
	like power, temperature, frequency, current, etc. They
	can also indicate the group of sensors belonging to
	different owners like CSM, Profiler, Job-Scheduler

What: /sys/firmware/opal/sensor_groups/<sensor_group_name>/clear Date: August 2017 Contact: Linux for PowerPC mailing list linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Description: Sysfs file to clear the min-max of all the sensors belonging to the group.

	Writing 1 to this file will clear the minimum and
	maximum values of all the sensors in the group.
	In POWER9, the min-max of a sensor is the historical minimum
	and maximum value of the sensor cached by OCC.
