platform/x86: BIOS SAR driver for Intel M.2 Modem
Dynamic BIOS SAR driver exposing dynamic SAR information from BIOS
The Dynamic SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) driver uses ACPI DSM
(Device Specific Method) to communicate with BIOS and retrieve
dynamic SAR information and change notifications. The driver uses
sysfs to expose this data to userspace via read and notify.
Sysfs interface is documented in detail under:
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-intc_sar
