+Description:
+		The ttyvs driver will emulate serial port event; parity error,
+		framing error, overrun error, asserting/de-asserting break
+		condition and ring indication when user space application
+		writes an event code on this sysfs file.
+
+		Write 1 to emulate framing error, write 2 for parity error,
+		write 3 for overrun error, write 4 to set ring indication,
+		write 5 to clear ring indication, write 6 to emulate a break
+		condition detected, write 7 to emulate a faulty cable and
+		write 8 to remove faulty cable condition.
