+
+*******************************
+Remote Controller's sysfs nodes
+*******************************
+
+As defined at ``Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-rc``, those are
+the sysfs nodes that control the Remote Controllers:
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc:
+
+/sys/class/rc/
+==============
+
+The ``/sys/class/rc/`` class sub-directory belongs to the Remote
+Controller core and provides a sysfs interface for configuring infrared
+remote controller receivers.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/
+==================
+
+A ``/sys/class/rc/rcN`` directory is created for each remote control
+receiver device where N is the number of the receiver.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_protocols:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/protocols
+===========================
+
+Reading this file returns a list of available protocols, something like::
+
+	rc5 [rc6] nec jvc [sony]
+
+Enabled protocols are shown in [] brackets.
+
+Writing "+proto" will add a protocol to the list of enabled protocols.
+
+Writing "-proto" will remove a protocol from the list of enabled
+protocols.
+
+Writing "proto" will enable only "proto".
+
+Writing "none" will disable all protocols.
+
+Write fails with ``EINVAL`` if an invalid protocol combination or unknown
+protocol name is used.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_filter:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter
+========================
+
+Sets the scancode filter expected value.
+
+Use in combination with ``/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter_mask`` to set the
+expected value of the bits set in the filter mask. If the hardware
+supports it then scancodes which do not match the filter will be
+ignored. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the current protocol is altered.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_filter_mask:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter_mask
+=============================
+
+Sets the scancode filter mask of bits to compare. Use in combination
+with ``/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter`` to set the bits of the scancode which
+should be compared against the expected value. A value of 0 disables the
+filter to allow all valid scancodes to be processed.
+
+If the hardware supports it then scancodes which do not match the filter
+will be ignored. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the current protocol is altered.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_protocols:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_protocols
+==================================
+
+Reading this file returns a list of available protocols to use for the
+wakeup filter, something like::
+
+	rc-5 nec nec-x rc-6-0 rc-6-6a-24 [rc-6-6a-32] rc-6-mce
+
+Note that protocol variants are listed, so ``nec``, ``sony``, ``rc-5``, ``rc-6``
+have their different bit length encodings listed if available.
+
+Note that all protocol variants are listed.
+
+The enabled wakeup protocol is shown in [] brackets.
+
+Only one protocol can be selected at a time.
+
+Writing "proto" will use "proto" for wakeup events.
+
+Writing "none" will disable wakeup.
+
+Write fails with ``EINVAL`` if an invalid protocol combination or unknown
+protocol name is used, or if wakeup is not supported by the hardware.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_filter:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter
+===============================
+
+Sets the scancode wakeup filter expected value. Use in combination with
+``/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter_mask`` to set the expected value of
+the bits set in the wakeup filter mask to trigger a system wake event.
+
+If the hardware supports it and wakeup_filter_mask is not 0 then
+scancodes which match the filter will wake the system from e.g. suspend
+to RAM or power off. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the wakeup protocol is altered.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_filter_mask:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter_mask
+====================================
+
+Sets the scancode wakeup filter mask of bits to compare. Use in
+combination with ``/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter`` to set the bits of
+the scancode which should be compared against the expected value to
+trigger a system wake event.
+
+If the hardware supports it and wakeup_filter_mask is not 0 then
+scancodes which match the filter will wake the system from e.g. suspend
+to RAM or power off. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the wakeup protocol is altered.
