1Interconnect Provider Device Tree Bindings 2========================================= 3 4The purpose of this document is to define a common set of generic interconnect 5providers/consumers properties. 6 7 8= interconnect providers = 9 10The interconnect provider binding is intended to represent the interconnect 11controllers in the system. Each provider registers a set of interconnect 12nodes, which expose the interconnect related capabilities of the interconnect 13to consumer drivers. These capabilities can be throughput, latency, priority 14etc. The consumer drivers set constraints on interconnect path (or endpoints) 15depending on the use case. Interconnect providers can also be interconnect 16consumers, such as in the case where two network-on-chip fabrics interface 17directly. 18 19Required properties: 20- compatible : contains the interconnect provider compatible string 21- #interconnect-cells : number of cells in a interconnect specifier needed to 22 encode the interconnect node id and optionally add a 23 path tag 24 25Example: 26 27 snoc: interconnect@580000 { 28 compatible = "qcom,msm8916-snoc"; 29 #interconnect-cells = <1>; 30 reg = <0x580000 0x14000>; 31 clock-names = "bus_clk", "bus_a_clk"; 32 clocks = <&rpmcc RPM_SMD_SNOC_CLK>, 33 <&rpmcc RPM_SMD_SNOC_A_CLK>; 34 }; 35 36 37= interconnect consumers = 38 39The interconnect consumers are device nodes which dynamically express their 40bandwidth requirements along interconnect paths they are connected to. There 41can be multiple interconnect providers on a SoC and the consumer may consume 42multiple paths from different providers depending on use case and the 43components it has to interact with. 44 45Required properties: 46interconnects : Pairs of phandles and interconnect provider specifier to denote 47 the edge source and destination ports of the interconnect path. 48 An optional path tag value could specified as additional argument 49 to both endpoints and in such cases, this information will be passed 50 to the interconnect framework to do aggregation based on the attached 51 tag. 52 53Optional properties: 54interconnect-names : List of interconnect path name strings sorted in the same 55 order as the interconnects property. Consumers drivers will use 56 interconnect-names to match interconnect paths with interconnect 57 specifier pairs. 58 59 Reserved interconnect names: 60 * dma-mem: Path from the device to the main memory of 61 the system 62 63Example: 64 65 sdhci@7864000 { 66 ... 67 interconnects = <&pnoc MASTER_SDCC_1 &bimc SLAVE_EBI_CH0>; 68 interconnect-names = "sdhc-mem"; 69 }; 70 71Example with path tags: 72 73 gnoc: interconnect@17900000 { 74 ... 75 interconnect-cells = <2>; 76 }; 77 78 mnoc: interconnect@1380000 { 79 ... 80 interconnect-cells = <2>; 81 }; 82 83 cpu@0 { 84 ... 85 interconnects = <&gnoc MASTER_APPSS_PROC 3 &mnoc SLAVE_EBI1 3>; 86 }
