It is helpful to see the saved record entries during run time in human-readable format. This is useful for testing during module development. It can also be used by system admins to quickly and easily see the state of the system. Provide a sequential file in debugfs to print fields of interest from the FRU records and their entries. Don't fail to load the module if the debugfs interface is not available. This is a convenience feature which does not affect other module functionality. The new interface reads the record entries and should hold the mutex. Expand the mutex code comment to clarify when it should be held.

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.
