+ fwctl provides a userspace API for restricted access to communicate
+ with on-device firmware. The communication channel is intended to
+ support a wide range of lockdown compatible device behaviors including
+ manipulating device FLASH, debugging, and other activities that don't
+ fit neatly into an existing subsystem.

Create the class, character device and functions for a fwctl driver to un/register to the subsystem. A typical fwctl driver has a sysfs presence like: $ ls -l /dev/fwctl/fwctl0 crw------- 1 root root 250, 0 Apr 25 19:16 /dev/fwctl/fwctl0 $ ls /sys/class/fwctl/fwctl0 dev device power subsystem uevent $ ls /sys/class/fwctl/fwctl0/device/infiniband/ ibp0s10f0 $ ls /sys/class/infiniband/ibp0s10f0/device/fwctl/ fwctl0/ $ ls /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0/fwctl/fwctl0 dev device power subsystem uevent Which allows userspace to link all the multi-subsystem driver components together and learn the subsystem specific names for the device's components.
