High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI)
=============================================
-High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a serial interface
-mainly used for connecting application engines (APE) with cellular modem
-engines (CMT) in cellular handsets. HSI provides multiplexing for up to
-16 logical channels, low-latency and full duplex communication.
+1. Introduction
+---------------
+
+High Speed Syncronous Interface (HSI) is a fullduplex, low latency protocol,
+that is optimized for die-level interconnect between an Application Processor
+and a Baseband chipset. It has been specified by the MIPI alliance in 2003 and
+implemented by multiple vendors since then.
+
+The HSI interface supports full duplex communication over multiple channels
+(typically 8) and is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 Mbit/s.
+
+The serial protocol uses two signals, DATA and FLAG as combined data and clock
+signals and an additional READY signal for flow control. An additional WAKE
+signal can be used to wakeup the chips from standby modes. The signals are
+commonly prefixed by AC for signals going from the application die to the
+cellular die and CA for signals going the other way around.

+2. HSI Subsystem in Linux
+-------------------------
+
+In the Linux kernel the hsi subsystem is supposed to be used for HSI devices.
+The hsi subsystem contains drivers for hsi controllers including support for
+multi-port controllers and provides a generic API for using the HSI ports.
+
+It also contains HSI client drivers, which make use of the generic API to
+implement a protocol used on the HSI interface. These client drivers can
+use an arbitrary number of channels.
+
+3. hsi-char Device
+------------------
+
+Each port automatically registers a generic client driver called hsi_char,
+which provides a charecter device for userspace representing the HSI port.
+It can be used to communicate via HSI from userspace. Userspace may
+configure the hsi_char device using the following ioctl commands:
+
+HSC_RESET
+ flush the HSI port
+
+HSC_SET_PM
+ enable or disable the client.
+
+HSC_SEND_BREAK
+ send break
+
+HSC_SET_RX
+ set RX configuration
+
+HSC_GET_RX
+ get RX configuration
+
+HSC_SET_TX
+ set TX configuration
+
+HSC_GET_TX
+ get TX configuration
