[PATCH] powernv/opal-sensor-groups: Add documentation for the sysfs interfaces

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: Shilpasri G Bhat <shilpa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit bf9571550f52 ("powerpc/powernv: Add support to clear sensor
groups data") added a mechanism to clear sensor-group data via a sysfs
interface. However, the ABI for that interface has not been
documented.

This patch documents the ABI for the sysfs interface for sensor-groups
and clearing the sensor-groups.

This patch was originally sent by Shilpasri G Bhat on the mailing list:

+Description:	Sensor groups directory for POWER9 powernv servers
+
+		Each folder in this directory contains a sensor group
+		which are classified based on type of the sensor
+		like power, temperature, frequency, current, etc. They
+		can also indicate the group of sensors belonging to
+		different owners like CSM, Profiler, Job-Scheduler

+What:		/sys/firmware/opal/sensor_groups/<sensor_group_name>/clear
+Date:		August 2017
+Contact:	Linux for PowerPC mailing list <linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org>
+Description:	Sysfs file to clear the min-max of all the sensors
+		belonging to the group.
+
+		Writing 1 to this file will clear the minimum and
+		maximum values of all the sensors in the group.
+		In POWER9, the min-max of a sensor is the historical minimum
+		and maximum value of the sensor cached by OCC.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
