Add support in sysfs custom attributes for fields in socinfo version

and test scripts. Also, add name mappings for hw-platform type to
make the sysfs information more descriptive.
Please include a patch documenting your additions to
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-soc. Please describe usecases
for new attributes and their applicability to non-Qualcomm boards.
Note, that testing scripts can access debugfs entries without any
issues.
The commit text mentions the "userland" scripts and it could mean the
product OS like Android or Yocto having the applications using these
/sysfs entries. Naman, please clarify if the vendor application layer
in the Android is using these Entries to make decisions based on the
platforms / soc information?
That may have been a wrong choice of word here, if that is what it
means. The use of these interfaces is in post boot shell scripts, and
userspace services. As these are Qualcomm specific, I don't think we
have any examples in Android. I have now mentioned the use-cases of
sysfs interface, in my reply on Dmitry's email on PATCH 2/2. Have added
you there to avoid duplication.
