That last paragraph will need to be updated if we merge those two sysfs files into one. Might as well mention an example of why someone might do a reset with no image selected for reload, e.g. the PSL trace arrays are preserved, which can be read out through debugfs after the card comes back up. > +What: /sys/class/cxl/<card>/reset > +Date: October 2014 > +Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org > +Description: write only > + Writing 1 here will issue a PERST to card.
