Add a misc-device providing user-space access to the Surface Aggregator EC, mainly intended for debugging, testing, and reverse-engineering. This interface gives user-space applications the ability to send requests to the EC and receive the corresponding responses. The device-file is managed by a pseudo platform-device and corresponding driver to avoid dependence on the dedicated bus, allowing it to be loaded in a minimal configuration. A python library and scripts to access this device can be found at [1].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
