The MHI bus supports a standardized hardware reset, which is known as the "SoC Reset". This reset is similar to the reset sysfs for PCI devices - a hardware mechanism to reset the state back to square one. The MHI SoC Reset is described in the spec as a reset of last resort. If some unrecoverable error has occurred where other resets have failed, SoC Reset is the "big hammer" that ungracefully resets the device. This is effectivly the same as yanking the power on the device, and reapplying it. However, depending on the nature of the particular issue, the underlying transport link may remain active and configured. If the link remains up, the device will flag a MHI system error early in the boot process after the reset is executed, which allows the MHI bus to process a fatal error event, and clean up appropiately. While the SoC Reset is generally intended as a means of recovery when all else has failed, it can be useful in non-error scenarios. For example, if the device loads firmware from the host filesystem, the device may need to be fully rebooted inorder to pick up the new firmware. In this scenario, the system administrator may use the soc_reset sysfs to cause the device to pick up the new firmware that the admin placed on the filesystem.

README
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.
