Contact:	Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
Description:
		 Shows the list of currently configured
		 console devices, like 'tty1 ttyS0'.
		 The last entry in the file is the active
		 device connected to /dev/console.

		 console switches.

Contact:	Tomas Hlavacek <tmshlvck@gmail.com>
Description:
		 Shows the current uartclk value associated with the
		 UART port in serial_core, that is bound to TTY like ttyS0.

		 These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
		 sysfs rather than via ioctls.

		 sysfs rather than via ioctls.

What:		/sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/io_type
Date:		October 2012
Contact:	Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Description:
		 Show the I/O type that is to be used with the iomem base
		 address.

		 These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
		 sysfs rather than via ioctls.

What:		/sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/iomem_base

What:		/sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/rx_trig_bytes
Date:		May 2014
Contact:	Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com>
Description:
		 Shows current RX interrupt trigger bytes or sets the
		 user specified value to change it for the FIFO buffer.
		 Users can show or set this value regardless of opening the
		 serial device file or not.

		 The RX trigger can be set one of four kinds of values for UART
		 serials. When users input a meaning less value to this I/F,
		 the RX trigger is changed to the nearest lower value for the
		 device specification. For example, when user sets 7bytes on
		 16550A, which has 1/4/8/14 bytes trigger, the RX trigger is
		 automatically changed to 4 bytes.
