There is always need for versioning :-) I'll send new patch with the following: compatible = "xen,shared-memory-v1", "xen,shared-memory" > > + > > +- reg: > > + the base guest physical address and size of the shared memory region > > + > > +- id: > > xen,id OK > > + a string that identifies the shared memory region as specified in > > + the VM config file >

Introduce a device tree binding for Xen reserved-memory regions. They are used to share memory across VMs from the VM config files. (See static_shm config option.) Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefanos@xilinx.com> Cc: julien.grall@arm.com
