1FSI bus & engine generic device tree bindings 2============================================= 3 4The FSI bus is probe-able, so the OS is able to enumerate FSI slaves, and 5engines within those slaves. However, we have a facility to match devicetree 6nodes to probed engines. This allows for fsi engines to expose non-probeable 7busses, which are then exposed by the device tree. For example, an FSI engine 8that is an I2C master - the I2C bus can be described by the device tree under 9the engine's device tree node. 10 11FSI masters may require their own DT nodes (to describe the master HW itself); 12that requirement is defined by the master's implementation, and is described by 13the fsi-master-* binding specifications. 14 15Under the masters' nodes, we can describe the bus topology using nodes to 16represent the FSI slaves and their slave engines. As a basic outline: 17 18 fsi-master { 19 /* top-level of FSI bus topology, bound to an FSI master driver and 20 * exposes an FSI bus */ 21 22 fsi-slave@<link,id> { 23 /* this node defines the FSI slave device, and is handled 24 * entirely with FSI core code */ 25 26 fsi-slave-engine@<addr> { 27 /* this node defines the engine endpoint & address range, which 28 * is bound to the relevant fsi device driver */ 29 ... 30 }; 31 32 fsi-slave-engine@<addr> { 33 ... 34 }; 35 36 }; 37 }; 38 39Note that since the bus is probe-able, some (or all) of the topology may 40not be described; this binding only provides an optional facility for 41adding subordinate device tree nodes as children of FSI engines. 42 43FSI masters 44----------- 45 46FSI master nodes declare themselves as such with the "fsi-master" compatible 47value. It's likely that an implementation-specific compatible value will 48be needed as well, for example: 49 50 compatible = "fsi-master-gpio", "fsi-master"; 51 52Since the master nodes describe the top-level of the FSI topology, they also 53need to declare the FSI-standard addressing scheme. This requires two cells for 54addresses (link index and slave ID), and no size: 55 56 #address-cells = <2>; 57 #size-cells = <0>; 58 59An optional boolean property can be added to indicate that a particular master 60should not scan for connected devices at initialization time. This is 61necessary in cases where a scan could cause arbitration issues with other 62masters that may be present on the bus. 63 64 no-scan-on-init; 65 66FSI slaves 67---------- 68 69Slaves are identified by a (link-index, slave-id) pair, so require two cells 70for an address identifier. Since these are not a range, no size cells are 71required. For an example, a slave on link 1, with ID 2, could be represented 72as: 73 74 cfam@1,2 { 75 reg = <1 2>; 76 [...]; 77 } 78 79Each slave provides an address-space, under which the engines are accessible. 80That address space has a maximum of 23 bits, so we use one cell to represent 81addresses and sizes in the slave address space: 82 83 #address-cells = <1>; 84 #size-cells = <1>; 85 86Optionally, a slave can provide a global unique chip ID which is used to 87identify the physical location of the chip in a system specific way 88 89 chip-id = <0>; 90 91FSI engines (devices) 92--------------------- 93 94Engines are identified by their address under the slaves' address spaces. We 95use a single cell for address and size. Engine nodes represent the endpoint 96FSI device, and are passed to those FSI device drivers' ->probe() functions. 97 98For example, for a slave using a single 0x400-byte page starting at address 990xc00: 100 101 engine@c00 { 102 reg = <0xc00 0x400>; 103 }; 104 105 106Full example 107------------ 108 109Here's an example that illustrates: 110 - an FSI master 111 - connected to an FSI slave 112 - that contains an engine that is an I2C master 113 - connected to an I2C EEPROM 114 115The FSI master may be connected to additional slaves, and slaves may have 116additional engines, but they don't necessarily need to be describe in the 117device tree if no extra platform information is required. 118 119 /* The GPIO-based FSI master node, describing the top level of the 120 * FSI bus 121 */ 122 gpio-fsi { 123 compatible = "fsi-master-gpio", "fsi-master"; 124 #address-cells = <2>; 125 #size-cells = <0>; 126 127 /* A FSI slave (aka. CFAM) at link 0, ID 0. */ 128 cfam@0,0 { 129 reg = <0 0>; 130 #address-cells = <1>; 131 #size-cells = <1>; 132 chip-id = <0>; 133 134 /* FSI engine at 0xc00, using a single page.
