+Description:
+		The misc device files /dev/jtag* are the interface
+		between JTAG master interface and userspace.
+
+		The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined and documented in
+		[include/uapi]<linux/jtag.h>.
+
+		The following file operations are supported:
+
+		open(2)
+		The argument flag currently support only one access
+		mode O_RDWR.
+
+		ioctl(2)
+		Initiate various actions.
+		See the inline documentation in [include/uapi]<linux/jtag.h>
+		for descriptions of all ioctls.
+
+		close(2)
+		Stops and free up the I/O contexts that was associated
+		with the file descriptor.

+Linux kernel JTAG support
+=========================
+
+The JTAG is an industry standard for verifying hardware
+JTAG provides access to many logic signals of a complex integrated circuit,
+including the device pins.
+
+A JTAG interface is a special interface added to a chip.
+Depending on the version of JTAG, two, four, or five pins are added.
+
+The connector pins are:
+	TDI (Test Data In)
+	TDO (Test Data Out)
+	TCK (Test Clock)
+	TMS (Test Mode Select)
+	TRST (Test Reset) optional.
+
+JTAG interface is designed to have two parts - basic core driver and
+hardware specific driver. The basic driver introduces a general interface
+which is not dependent of specific hardware. It provides communication
+between user space and hardware specific driver.
+Each JTAG device is represented as a char device from (jtag0, jtag1, ...).
+Access to a JTAG device is performed through IOCTL calls.
+
+Call flow example:
+User: open  -> /dev/jatgX
+User: ioctl -> /dev/jtagX -> JTAG core driver -> JTAG hw specific driver
+User: close -> /dev/jatgX

+The JTAG API
+=============
+
+JTAG master devices can be accessed through a character misc-device.
+Each JTAG master interface can be accessed by using /dev/jtagN
+
+JTAG system calls set:
+- SIR (Scan Instruction Register, IEEE 1149.1 Instruction Register scan);
+- SDR (Scan Data Register, IEEE 1149.1 Data Register scan);
+- RUNTEST (Forces the IEEE 1149.1 bus to a run state for a specified
+number of clocks.
+
+open(), close()
+-------
+open() opens JTAG device. Only one open operation per JTAG device
+can be performed. Two or more open for one device will return error
+
+Open/Close  device:
+- open("/dev/jtag0", O_RDWR);
+- close(jtag_fd');
+
+ioctl()
+-------
+All access operations to JTAG devices performed through ioctl interface.
+The IOCTL interface supports this requests:
+	JTAG_IOCRUNTEST - Force JTAG state machine to RUN_TEST/IDLE state
+	JTAG_SIOCFREQ - Set JTAG TCK frequency
+	JTAG_GIOCFREQ - Get JTAG TCK frequency
+	JTAG_IOCXFER - send JTAG data Xfer
+	JTAG_GIOCSTATUS - get current JTAG TAP status
+	JTAG_SIOCMODE - set JTAG mode flags.
+
+JTAG_SIOCFREQ, JTAG_GIOCFREQ
+------
+Set/Get JTAG clock speed:
+
+	unsigned int jtag_fd;
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_SIOCFREQ, &frq);
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_GIOCFREQ, &frq);
+
+JTAG_IOCRUNTEST
+------
+Force JTAG state machine to RUN_TEST/IDLE state
+
+struct jtag_run_test_idle {
+	__u8	reset;
+	__u8	endstate;
+	__u8	tck;
+};
+
+reset: 0 - run IDLE/PAUSE from current state
+	   1 - go through TEST_LOGIC/RESET state before  IDLE/PAUSE
+endstate: completion flag
+tck: clock counter
+
+Example:
+	struct jtag_run_test_idle runtest;
+
+	runtest.endstate = JTAG_STATE_IDLE;
+	runtest.reset = 0;
+	runtest.tck = data_p->tck;
+	usleep(25 * 1000);
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_IOCRUNTEST, &runtest);
+
+JTAG_IOCXFER
+------
+Send SDR/SIR transaction
+
+struct jtag_xfer {
+	__u8	type;
+	__u8	direction;
+	__u8	endstate;
+	__u8	padding;
+	__u32	length;
+	__u64	tdio;
+};
+
+type: transfer type - JTAG_SIR_XFER/JTAG_SDR_XFER
+direction: xfer direction - JTAG_SIR_XFER/JTAG_SDR_XFER,
+length: xfer data len in bits
+tdio : xfer data array
+endstate: xfer end state after transaction finish
+	   can be: JTAG_STATE_IDLE/JTAG_STATE_PAUSEIR/JTAG_STATE_PAUSEDR
+
+Example:
+	struct jtag_xfer xfer;
+	static char buf[64];
+	static unsigned int buf_len = 0;
+	[...]
+	xfer.type = JTAG_SDR_XFER;
+	xfer.tdio = (__u64)buf;
+	xfer.length = buf_len;
+	xfer.endstate = JTAG_STATE_IDLE;
+
+	if (is_read)
+		xfer.direction = JTAG_READ_XFER;
+	else
+		xfer.direction = JTAG_WRITE_XFER;
+
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_IOCXFER, &xfer);
+
+JTAG_SIOCMODE
+------
+If hw driver can support different running modes you can change it.
+
+Example:
+	unsigned int mode;
+	mode = JTAG_XFER_HW_MODE;
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_SIOCMODE, &mode);
