I'd make this "fsl,<soc>-uart", "fsl,imx51-uart"

It's better to anchor these things on real silicon, or a real ip block
specification rather than something pseudo-generic.  Subsequent chips,
like the imx53, should simply claim compatibility with the older
fsl,imx51-uart.

(in essence, "fsl,imx51-uart" becomes the generic string without the
downside of having no obvious recourse when new silicon shows up that
is an imx part, but isn't compatible with the imx51 uart.

Hmmm, I really would like to be rid of this.  Instead, if uarts must
be enumerated, the driver should look for a /aliases/uart* property
that matches the of_node.  Doing it that way is already established in
the OpenFirmware documentation, and it ensures there are no overlaps
in the global namespace.

We do need some infrastructure to make that easier though.  Would you
have time to help put that together?

Should this also support the "clock-frequency" property that 8250-style
serial ports support [1]?

For the flow-control properties, should we name that more generic? The
same property certainly makes sense for other serial-ports if it does
here. OTOH, I'm not sure it's actually reliable, because it also depends
on whether the other side of the connection and the cable support hw flow
control.

I'd like to see a few use cases before defining a common property.
That said, has-rts-cts does sound like a useful generic property.
Or maybe named "uart-has-rts-cts" to make it clear that it is a uart
specific binding?

Shouldn't that be the oldest SoC this core showed up? It might be an academic
question, but it would look a bit funny if mx27 got dt-support and would have a
imx51-uart? The first imx to have this core is the mx1. (Although there are
some cpu_is_mx1() calls used in the driver, but they are still available, or?)

It is a real IP block on all imx silicons (except imx23 and imx28
which are known as former stmp).

In this case, should imx1 the ancestor of imx family than imx51
becomes part of that generic string?  Claiming uart of imx1, imx21
and imx31 (senior than imx51) compatible with the imx51 uart seems
odd to me.

That said, IMO, "fsl,imx-uart" stands a real IP block specification
here and can be a perfect generic compatibility string to tell the
recourse of any imx silicon using this IP.

I just gave one more try to avoid using 'aliases', and you gave a
'no' again.  Now, I know how hard you are on this.  Okay, I start
thinking about your suggestion seriously :)

Ok, I will give it a try.

I would ignore it for a while until we have common clock api and
corresponding binding settled.  For now, I would have nothing clock
related parsed from device tree.

I would keep the name as it is if you do not mind, since it's been
under uart node.

Yes, but which /version/ of the IP block?  Hardware designers are
notorious for changing hardware designs for newer silicon, sometimes
to add features, sometimes to fix bugs.  While I understand the
temptation to boil a compatible value down to a nice clean generic
string, doing so only works in a perfect world.  In the real world,
you still need to have some information about the specific
implementation.  I prefer this specifying it to the SoC name, but I've
been known to be convinced that specifying it to the ip-block name &
version in certain circumstances, like for IP blocks in an FPGA, or
some of the Freescale powerpc pXXXX SoCs which actually had an IP
block swapped out midway through the life of the chip.

Besides, encoding an soc or ip block version into the 'generic'
compatible values is not just good practice, it has *zero downside*.
That's the beauty of the compatible property semantics.  Any node can
claim compatibility with an existing device.  If no existing device
fits correctly, then the node simple does not claim compatibility.
Drivers can bind to any number of compatible strings, so it would be
just fine for the of_match_table list to include both "fsl,imx-21" and
"fsl,imx-51" (assuming that is the appropriate solution in this case).

There are definitely uart changes along the way with each generation.

Don't you need uart or serial in here somewhere.

you are of course correct.  The examples should be "fsl,imx21-uart" &
"fsl,imx51-uart".  I was just writing too quickly.
