Add device-tree binding for NVIDIA Tegra30 External Memory Controller.
The binding is based on the Tegra124 EMC binding since hardware is
similar, although there are couple significant differences.

My comments on Tegra124 binding apply here.

The common timing definition doesn't fully match the definition that is
used by Tegra's Memory Controller, thus the DQS (data strobe) timing
parameter is comprised of multiple sub-parameters that describe how to
generate the strobe in hardware. There are also more additional
parameters that are specific to Tegra and they are individually
characterized for each memory model and clock rate. Hence the common
timing definition isn't usable.

I don't understand. Every PC in the world can work with any DIMM
(within a given generation) just with SPD data. Why is that not
sufficient here?

In any case, it seems for Tegra124 a different approach is going to be
taken. Seems like an "avoid DT" solution to me, but if it's contained
within the firmware it's not my problem.

Because this is not a standard PC, but a custom embedded hardware that
is simpler and also doesn't fully follow the standards in some cases.

My above comment really applies to all Terga's.

The Tegra210 is also a bit more complicated case because of the
proprietary signed firmware that can't be easily replaced with
opensource alternative without special hacks, but AFAIK the unofficial
opensource firmware will be available in some form for at least one
consumer device (Nintendo Switch).

Please write a detailed comment to the Tegra210's patch, saying what you
would want to see changed. I'm sure Joseph will try to do his best.

Note that it is always possible to define a proper device tree binding
and then also "unofficially" support the downstream binding, IIRC that's
what some drivers are already doing in upstream kernel. So I think you
could just demand for the proper binding regardless of the firmware
situation.

Even if there is a way to derive at least some of required parameters
from the common timing, I don't have information about how to do it and
there is pretty much no chance to get it into public.

Rob, please let me know if you're okay with this binding.

I looked through the Technical Reference Manual a bit more closely and
it actually has comments about how to convert some of the common timing
parameters into register values. Some of those parameters are not
trivial to convert and the doc could be incomplete, and some of the
parameters are not documented at all.

The other much more minor reason against the common timing description
is that all boards come with the memory timing definition in a
platform-specific form in downstream kernel. We're re-using that
definition in the device-tree, hence it is easy to port the timings from
downstream into upstream.
