+What:		/sys/devices/platform/kim/dev_name
+Date:		January 2010
+KernelVersion:	2.6.38
+Contact:	"Pavan Savoy" <pavan_savoy@ti.com>
+Description:
+		Name of the UART device at which the WL128x chip
+		is connected. example: "/dev/ttyS0".
+		The device name flows down to architecture specific board
+		initialization file from the SFI/ATAGS bootloader
+		firmware. The name exposed is read from the user-space
+		dameon and opens the device when install is requested.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/platform/kim/baud_rate
+Date:		January 2010
+KernelVersion:	2.6.38
+Contact:	"Pavan Savoy" <pavan_savoy@ti.com>
+Description:
+		The maximum reliable baud-rate the host can support.
+		Different platforms tend to have different high-speed
+		UART configurations, so the baud-rate needs to be set
+		locally and also sent across to the WL128x via a HCI-VS
+		command. The entry is read and made use by the user-space
+		daemon when the ldisc install is requested.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/platform/kim/flow_cntrl
+Date:		January 2010
+KernelVersion:	2.6.38
+Contact:	"Pavan Savoy" <pavan_savoy@ti.com>
+Description:
+		The WL128x makes use of flow control mechanism, and this
+		entry most often should be 1, the host's UART is required
+		to have the capability of flow-control, or else this
+		entry can be made use of for exceptions.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/platform/kim/install
+Date:		January 2010
+KernelVersion:	2.6.38
+Contact:	"Pavan Savoy" <pavan_savoy@ti.com>
+Description:
+		When one of the protocols Bluetooth, FM or GPS wants to make
+		use of the shared UART transport, it registers to the shared
+		transport driver, which will signal the user-space for opening,
+		configuring baud and install line discipline via this sysfs
+		entry. This entry would be polled upon by the user-space
+		daemon managing the UART, and is notified about the change
+		by the sysfs_notify. The value would be '1' when UART needs
+		to be opened/ldisc installed, and would be '0' when UART
+		is no more required and needs to be closed.
