+===============================
+The Linux kernel DPLL subsystem
+===============================
+
+
+The main purpose of DPLL subsystem is to provide general interface
+to configure devices that use any kind of Digital PLL and could use
+different sources of signal to synchronize to as well as different
+types of outputs. The inputs and outputs could be internal components
+of the device as well as external connections. The main interface is
+NETLINK_GENERIC based protocol with config and monitoring groups of
+commands defined.
+
+Configuration commands group
+============================
+
+Configuration commands are used to get information about registered
+DPLL devices as well as get or set configuration of each used input
+or output. As DPLL device could not be abstract and reflects real
+hardware, there is no way to add new DPLL device via netlink from
+user space and each device should be registered by it's driver.
+
+List of command with possible attributes
+========================================
+
+All constants identifying command types use ``DPLL_CMD_`` prefix and
+suffix according to command purpose. All attributes use ``DPLLA_``
+prefix and suffix according to attribute purpose:

+
+
+The pre-defined enums
+=====================
+
+These enums are used to select type values for source/input and
+output pins:
+
+  ============================= ======================================
+  ``DPLL_TYPE_EXT_1PPS``        External 1PPS source
+  ``DPLL_TYPE_EXT_10MHZ``       External 10MHz source
+  ``DPLL_TYPE_SYNCE_ETH_PORT``  SyncE on Ethernet port
+  ``DPLL_TYPE_INT_OSCILLATOR``  Internal Oscillator (i.e. Holdover
+                                with Atomic Clock as a Source)
+  ``DPLL_TYPE_GNSS``            GNSS 1PPS source
+  ``DPLL_TYPE_CUSTOM``          Custom frequency
+
+Values for monitoring attributes STATUS:
+
+  ============================= ======================================
+  ``DPLL_STATUS_NONE``          No information provided
+  ``DPLL_STATUS_CALIBRATING``   DPLL device is not locked to the
+                                source frequency
+  ``DPLL_STATUS_LOCKED``        DPLL device is locked to the source
+                                frequency
+
+
+Possible DPLL source selection mode values:
+
+  ============================= ======================================
+  ``DPLL_SRC_SELECT_FORCED``    source pin is force-selected by
+                                DPLL_CMD_SET_SOURCE_TYPE
+  ``DPLL_SRC_SELECT_AUTOMATIC`` source pin ise auto selected according
+                                to configured priorities and source
+                                signal validity
+  ``DPLL_SRC_SELECT_HOLDOVER``  force holdover mode of DPLL
+  ``DPLL_SRC_SELECT_FREERUN``   DPLL is driven by supplied system
+                                clock without holdover capabilities
+  ``DPLL_SRC_SELECT_NCO``       similar to FREERUN, with possibility
+                                to numerically control frequency offset
+
+Notifications
+================
+
+DPLL device can provide notifications regarding status changes of the
+device, i.e. lock status changes, source/output type changes or alarms.
+This is the multicast group that is used to notify user-space apps via
+netlink socket:
+
+  ============================== ====================================
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_DEVICE_CREATE``   New DPLL device was created
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_DEVICE_DELETE``   DPLL device was deleted
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_STATUS_LOCKED``   DPLL device has locked to source
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_STATUS_UNLOCKED`` DPLL device is in freerun or
+                                 in calibration mode
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE``   DPLL device source changed
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_OUTPUT_CHANGE``   DPLL device output changed
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_SOURCE_PRIO``     DPLL device source priority changed
+  ``DPLL_EVENT_SELECT_MODE``     DPLL device source selection mode
+                                 changed
+
+Device driver implementation
+============================
+
+For device to operate as DPLL subsystem device, it should implement
+set of operations and register device via ``dpll_device_alloc`` and
+``dpll_device_register`` providing desired device name and set of
+supported operations as well as the amount of sources/input pins and
+output pins. If there is no specific name supplied, dpll subsystem
+will use ``dpll%d`` template to create device name. Notifications of
+adding or removing DPLL devices are created within subsystem itself,
+but notifications about configurations changes or alarms should be
+implemented within driver as different ways of confirmation could be
+used. All the interfaces for notification messages could be found in
+``<dpll.h>``, constats and enums are placed in ``<uapi/linux/dpll.h>``
+to be consistent with user-space.
+
+There is no strict requeriment to implement all the operations for
+each device, every operation handler is checked for existence and
+ENOTSUPP is returned in case of absence of specific handler.
