| Description: |
| Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote |
| processor. Channels are identified with a (textual) name, |
| which is maximum 32 bytes long (defined as RPMSG_NAME_SIZE in |
| rpmsg.h). |
| |
| This sysfs entry contains the name of this channel. |

| Description: |
| Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote |
| processor. Channels have a local ("source") rpmsg address, |
| and remote ("destination") rpmsg address. When an entity |
| starts listening on one end of a channel, it assigns it with |
| a unique rpmsg address (a 32 bits integer). This way when |
| inbound messages arrive to this address, the rpmsg core |
| dispatches them to the listening entity (a kernel driver). |
| |
| This sysfs entry contains the src (local) rpmsg address |
| of this channel. If it contains 0xffffffff, then an address |
| wasn't assigned (can happen if no driver exists for this |
| channel). |

| Description: |
| Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote |
| processor. Channels are identified by a textual name (see |
| /sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.../name above) and have a local |
| ("source") rpmsg address, and remote ("destination") rpmsg |
| address. |
| |
| A channel is first created when an entity, whether local |
| or remote, starts listening on it for messages (and is thus |
| called an rpmsg server). |
| |
| When that happens, a "name service" announcement is sent |
| to the other processor, in order to let it know about the |
| creation of the channel (this way remote clients know they |
| can start sending messages). |
| |
| This sysfs entry tells us whether the channel is a local |
| server channel that is announced (values are either |
| true or false). |

| |
| The listening entity (or client) which communicates with a |
| remote processor is referred as rpmsg driver. The rpmsg device |
| and rpmsg driver are matched based on rpmsg device name and |
| rpmsg driver ID table. |
| |
| This sysfs entry allows the rpmsg driver for a rpmsg device |
| to be specified which will override standard OF, ID table |
| and name matching. |
