142What:		/sys/class/tty/ttyS0/rx_trig_bytes
143Date:		May 2014
144Contact:	Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com>
145Description:
146		 Shows current RX interrupt trigger bytes or sets the
147		 user specified value to change it for the FIFO buffer.
148		 Users can show or set this value regardless of opening the
149		 serial device file or not.
150
151		 The RX trigger can be set one of four kinds of values for UART
152		 serials. When users input a meaning less value to this I/F,
153		 the RX trigger is changed to the nearest lower value for the
154		 device specification. For example, when user sets 7bytes on
155		 16550A, which has 1/4/8/14 bytes trigger, the RX trigger is
156		 automatically changed to 4 bytes.
