+1.3 ccwgroup devices
+--------------------
+
+The ccwgroup mechanism is designed to handle devices consisting of multiple
ccw
+devices, like lcs or ctc.
+
+The ccw driver provides a 'group' attribute. Piping bus ids of ccw devices to
+this attributes creates a ccwgroup device consisting of these ccw devices (if
+possible). This ccwgroup device can be set online or offline just like a
normal
+ccw device.
+
+To implement a ccwgroup driver, please refer to include/asm/ccwgroup.h. Keep
in
+mind that most drivers will need to implement both a ccwgroup and a ccw
driver
+(unless you have a meta ccw driver, like cu3088 for lcs and ctc).
