Encapsulate common functions which all Intel Speed Select Technology interface drivers can use. This creates API to register misc device for user kernel communication and handle all common IOCTLs. As part of the registry it allows a callback which is to handle domain specific ioctl processing. There can be multiple drivers register for services, which can be built as modules. So this driver handle contention during registry and as well as during removal. Once user space opened the misc device, the registered driver will be prevented from removal. Also once misc device is opened by the user space new client driver can't register, till the misc device is closed. There are two types of client drivers, one to handle mail box interface and the other is to allow direct read/write to some specific MMIO space. This common driver implements IOCTL ISST_IF_GET_PLATFORM_INFO.

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.
