+Configfs GPIO Simulator
+=======================
+
+The configfs GPIO Simulator (gpio-sim) provides a way to create simulated GPIO
+chips for testing purposes. The lines exposed by these chips can be accessed
+using the standard GPIO character device interface as well as manipulated
+using sysfs attributes.
+
+Creating simulated chips
+------------------------
+
+The gpio-sim module registers a configfs subsystem called 'gpio-sim'. It's a
+subsystem with committable items which means two subdirectories are created in
+the filesystem: pending and live. For more information on configfs and
+committable items, please refer to Documentation/filesystems/configfs.rst.
+
+In order to instantiate a new simulated chip, the user needs to mkdir() a new
+directory in pending/. Inside each new directory, there's a set of attributes
+that can be used to configure the new chip. Once the configuration is complete,
+the user needs to use rename() to move the chip to the live/ directory. This
+creates and registers the new device.
+
+In order to destroy a simulated chip, it has to be moved back to pending first
+and then removed using rmdir().
+
+Currently supported configuration attributes are:
+
+  num_lines - an unsigned integer value defining the number of GPIO lines to
+              export
+
+  label - a string defining the label for the GPIO chip
+
+  line_names - a list of GPIO line names in the form of quoted strings
+               separated by commas, e.g.: '"foo", "bar", "", "foobar"'. The
+               number of strings doesn't have to be equal to the value set in
+               the num_lines attribute. If it's lower than the number of lines,
+               the remaining lines are unnamed. If it's larger, the superfluous
+               lines are ignored. A name of the form: '""' means the line
+               should be unnamed.
+
+Additionally two read-only attributes named 'chip_name' and 'dev_name' are
+exposed in order to provide users with a mapping from configfs directories to
+the actual devices created in the kernel. The former returns the name of the
+GPIO device as assigned by gpiolib (i.e. "gpiochip0", "gpiochip1", etc.). The
+latter returns the parent device name as defined by the gpio-sim driver (i.e.
+"gpio-sim.0", "gpio-sim.1", etc.). This allows user-space to map the configfs
+items both to the correct character device file as well as the associated entry
+in sysfs.
+
+Simulated GPIO chips can also be defined in device-tree. The compatible string
+must be: "gpio-simulator". Supported properties are:
+
+  "gpio-sim,label" - chip label
+
+  "gpio-sim,nr-gpios" - number of lines
+
+Other standard GPIO properties (like "gpio-line-names" and gpio-hog) are also
+supported.
+
+Manipulating simulated lines
+----------------------------
+
+Each simulated GPIO chip creates a sysfs attribute group under its device
+directory called 'line-ctrl'. Inside each group, there's a separate attribute
+for each GPIO line. The name of the attribute is of the form 'gpioX' where X
+is the line's offset in the chip.
+
+Reading from a line attribute returns the current value. Writing to it (0 or 1)
+changes the configuration of the simulated pull-up/pull-down resistor
+(1 - pull-up, 0 - pull-down).
