Here is the version 5 of the change to export OMAP data to userspace
(name, revision, id code, production id and die id).

Basically, this version is still attempting to create a new file under /proc.
It is the /proc/socinfo, which should be used to export bits which are SoC specific
(not CPU related, nor machine related).

So, differences between previous version are:
- merged patch 02/04 with 03/04 to avoid compilation breakages.
- simplified the seq_file usage by using the single_open and single_release functions
- exported a function to register a seq_operation .show callback
- adapted the changes accordingly

As usual, comments are welcome.

Eduardo, what has happened to this patchset?

Got forgotten :-(. Unfortunately I didn't pushed it hard enough.

Now we need something similar for arch/arm/mach-ux500 and I was sort of
hoping that this infrastructure would be in place already... wrong I was.

Right.

Do you want help in picking it up and try to polish it up?

Yeah, but it would need a refactoring. IIRC, result of last discussion was that
we should not mess with /proc. So, maybe moving back to something under sysfs.
Perhaps /sys/devices/soc or so?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
