Floating point half-precision (FPHP) and Advanced SIMD half-precision (ASIMDHP) are VFP features (FEAT_FP16) represented by MVFR1 identification register. These capabilities can optionally exist with VFPv3 and mandatory with VFPv4. Both these new features exist for Armv8 architecture in AArch32 state. These hwcaps may be useful for the userspace to add conditional check before trying to use FEAT_FP16 feature specific instructions.

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.
