+AMD Sensor Fusion Hub
+=====================
+AMD Sensor Fusion Hub (SFH) is part of an SOC starting from Ryzen based platforms.
+The solution is working well on several OEM products. AMD SFH uses HID over PCIe bus.
+In terms of architecture it resembles ISH, however the major difference is all
+the HID reports are generated as part of the kernel driver.

+
+AMD HID Transport Layer
+-----------------------
+AMD SFH transport is also implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the AMD MP2 is
+registered as a device on this bus. Here: MP2 which is an ARM core connected to x86 for processing
+sensor data. The layer, which binds each device (AMD SFH HID driver) identifies the device type and
+registers with the hid core. Transport layer attach a constant "struct hid_ll_driver" object with
+each device. Once a device is registered with HID core, the callbacks provided via this struct are
+used by HID core to communicate with the device. AMD HID Transport layer implements the synchronous calls.
+
+AMD HID Client Layer
+--------------------
+This layer is responsible to implement HID request and descriptors. As firmware is OS agnostic, HID
+client layer fills the HID request structure and descriptors. HID client layer is complex as it is
+interface between MP2 PCIe layer and HID. HID client layer initialized the MP2 PCIe layer and holds
+the instance of MP2 layer. It identifies the number of sensors connected using MP2-PCIe layer. Base
+on that allocates the DRAM address for each and every sensor and pass it to MP2-PCIe driver.On
+enumeration of each the sensor, client layer fills the HID Descriptor structure and HID input repor
+structure. HID Feature report structure is optional. The report descriptor structure varies from
+sensor to sensor.
+
+AMD MP2 PCIe layer
+------------------
+MP2 PCIe Layer is responsible for making all transactions with the firmware over PCIe.
+The connection establishment between firmware and PCIe happens here.
+
+The communication between X86 and MP2 is split into three parts.
+1. Command transfer via the C2P mailbox registers.
+2. Data transfer via DRAM.
+3. Supported sensor info via P2C registers.
+
+Commands are sent to MP2 using C2P Mailbox registers. Writing into C2P Message registers generate
+interrupt to MP2. The client layer allocates the physical memory and the same is sent to MP2 via
+the PCI layer. MP2 firmware writes the command output to the access DRAM memory which the client
+layer has allocated. Firmware always writes minimum of 32 bytes into DRAM. So as a protocol driver
+shall allocate minimum of 32 bytes DRAM space.
