+Power Sequencing API
+====================
+
+:Author: Bartosz Golaszewski
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This framework is designed to abstract complex power-up sequences that are
+shared between multiple logical devices in the Linux kernel.
+
+The intention is to allow consumers to obtain a power sequencing handle
+exposed by the power sequence provider and delegate the actual requesting and
+control of the underlying resources as well as to allow the provider to
+mitigate any potential conflicts between multiple users behind the scenes.
+
+Glossary
+--------
+
+The power sequencing API uses a number of terms specific to the subsystem:
+
+Unit
+
+    A unit is a discrete chunk of a power sequence. For instance one unit may
+    enable a set of regulators, another may enable a specific GPIO. Units can
+    define dependencies in the form of other units that must be enabled before
+    it itself can be.
+
+Target
+
+    A target is a set of units (composed of the "final" unit and its
+    dependencies) that a consumer selects by its name when requesting a handle
+    to the power sequencer. Via the dependency system, multiple targets may
+    share the same parts of a power sequence but ignore parts that are
+    irrelevant.
+
+Descriptor
+
+    A handle passed by the pwrseq core to every consumer that serves as the
+    entry point to the provider layer. It ensures coherence between different
+    users and keeps reference counting consistent.
+
+Consumer interface
+==================
+
+The consumer API is aimed to be as simple as possible. The driver interested in
+getting a descriptor from the power sequencer should call pwrseq_get() and
+specify the name of the target it wants to reach in the sequence after calling
+pwrseq_enable(). The descriptor can be released by calling pwrseq_put() and
+the consumer can request the powering down of its target with
+pwrseq_disable(). Note that there is no guarantee that pwrseq_disable()
+will have any effect as there may be multiple users of the underlying resources
+who may keep them active.
+
+Provider interface
+==================
+
+The provider API is admittedly not nearly as straightforward as the one for
+consumers but it makes up for it in flexibility.
+
+Each provider can logically split the power-up sequence into discrete chunks
+(units) and define their dependencies. They can then expose named targets that
+consumers may use as the final point in the sequence that they wish to reach.
+
+To that end the providers fill out a set of configuration structures and
+register with the pwrseq subsystem by calling pwrseq_device_register().
+
+Dynamic consumer matching
+-------------------------
+
+The main difference between pwrseq and other Linux kernel providers is the
+mechanism for dynamic matching of consumers and providers. Every power sequence
+provider driver must implement the `match()` callback and pass it to the pwrseq
+core when registering with the subsystems.
+
+When a client requests a sequencer handle, the core will call this callback for
+every registered provider and let it flexibly figure out whether the proposed
+client device is indeed its consumer. For example: if the provider binds to the
+device-tree node representing a power management unit of a chipset and the
+consumer driver controls one of its modules, the provider driver may parse the
+relevant regulator supply properties in device tree and see if they lead from
+the PMU to the consumer.
