Adding more simplified API for interface registration and read and write operations. The registration is split into separate creation and registration phases. That allows the drivers to properly initialize the interface before registering it if necessary. The read and write operations are supplied in a completely separate struct ucsi_operations that is passed to the ucsi_register() function during registration. The new read and write operations will work more traditionally so that the read callback function reads a requested amount of data from an offset, and the write callback functions write the given data to the offset. The drivers will have to support both non-blocking writing and blocking writing. In blocking writing the driver itself is responsible of waiting for the completion event. The new API makes it possible for the drivers to perform tasks also independently of the core ucsi.c, and that should allow for example quirks to be handled completely in the drivers without the need to touch ucsi.c. The old API is kept until all drivers have been converted to the new API.

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.
