Kernel driver for the NXP Semiconductors PN544 Near Field
Communication chip

General
-------
The PN544 is an integrated transmission module for contactless
communication. The driver goes under drives/nfc/ and is compiled as a
-module named "pn544". It registers a misc device and creates a device
-file named "/dev/pn544".
+module named "pn544".
Host Interfaces: I2C, SPI and HSU, this driver supports currently only I2C.
-The Interface
--------------
-
-The driver offers a sysfs interface for a hardware test and an IOCTL
-interface for selecting between two operating modes. There are read,
-write and poll functions for transferring messages. The two operating
-modes are the normal (HCI) mode and the firmware update mode.
-
-PN544 is controlled by sending messages from the userspace to the
-chip. The main function of the driver is just to pass those messages
-without caring about the message content.

-The Hardware Test
------------------
-
-The idea of the test is that it can performed by reading from the
-corresponding sysfs file. The test is implemented in the board file
-and it should test that PN544 can be put into the firmware update
-mode. If the test is not implemented the sysfs file does not get
-created.

-> cat /sys/module/pn544/drivers/i2c\:pn544/3-002b/nfc_test

-Normal Operation
-----------------
-
-PN544 is powered up when the device file is opened, otherwise it's
-turned off. Only one instance can use the device at a time.
-
-Userspace applications control PN544 with HCI messages. The hardware
-sends an interrupt when data is available for reading. Data is
-physically read when the read function is called by a userspace
-application. Poll() checks the read interrupt state. Configuration and
-self testing are also done from the userspace using read and write.

- * and then back to the normal mode.
- * Check the behavior and return one on success,
- * zero on failure.
