Mostly looks good.  A few comments below.  Biggest comment is you need
to add a brief blurb for every new "compatible" property value that
you've added to Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings.  General agreement
is that we don't merge drivers with new OF tree bindings unless the
binding is also documented.  It doesn't need to be long, it just needs
to state what the device is, and what properties are expected.  If you
define new properties, then you need to state what they are used for.

Once the comments below are addressed...

To date, we've been using the same form for both the model and
compatible properties.  Specifically the <vendor>,<model> form to
maintain the namespace.

It would be better to rename this as IMMR or the bus type.  This node
doesn't actually describe the entire chip, but describes the internal
memory mapped registers.

Drop the model property

Since you're only doing 1:1 mappings; you could replace this with an
empty "ranges;" property instead.

Hint:  If you move the interrupt-parent property up to the root node,
then you don't need to specify it in every single device node; it will
just inherit from the parent.

Can 'xfb' be made a second tuple to the 'reg' property so that all the
address mapping code works on it?  ie:

reg = <0x0c002000 0x100
       0x01698000 0x168000>;

At the very least, it is wise to adopt the same form as the reg
property when describing address ranges instead of splitting it into
multiple properties.

Thanks. I'll add the documentation for the new compatible properties.

Ok, I'll change model to "nintendo,gamecube".

Can you please elaborate more on this or point me to documentation?
The soc node here tries to represent the big multi-function chip that integrates most of the devices of the video game consoles ("Flipper" on the Nintendo GameCube and "Hollywood" on the Wii).

Nice, didn't know about this. I'll do that.

Got it. This makes a lot of sense here with a single interrupt controller.

I'll look into moving xfb-* into the reg property.

Right.  Much like many other SoCs.  However, the SoC has all these
devices + the cpu core + the memory controller, and probably some
other stuff.  Whereas this particular node only encapsulates the
integrated peripherals on an internal bus, so the node really is
describing the internal bus, not the entire SoC.  On some chips it is
documented as the "internally memory mapped registers", or IMMR.  So,
it is better to name this node in a way that reflects what it is (an
internal bus) instead of as the whole chip.

Similarly, it is better to use a compatible value of something like:
compatible = "nintendo,flipper-immr"; (instead of "nintendo,flipper")
because your describing just the internal bus, not the entire chip.

Thanks for the clarification.

That, however, is a) useless; and b) not totally correct.
The "model" property should show an exact model number if available.
You should use the "vendor," thing indeed.

If you don't have any better model # to use, using the same thing
as "compatible" is okay I suppose.  But it's not the _best_ thing
to put here if you have the choice.  Maybe you should say  
"nintendo,RVL-001"
(well, that's Wii, you want the similar thing for NGC, but you get
the point I hope).

You could, but being explicit about the supported ranges isn't
bad either.

If you have only one interrupt controller, like here, you don't
need to refer to it _at all_ :-)

It isn't a SoC, it's really just a memory bridge / I/O bridge
like e.g. MPC10x.

All the device addresses are fixed on the chip, there is no IMMR
or similar.

You can either group all devices under a "flipper" node, or just
put the devices directly in the root node, and have a separate
node for the generic control regs.  Both are a good description
of both the physical and logical structure, so it just comes down
to taste.

Good drivers can handle either structure btw, they should normally
only look at "compatible" to find their devices, so it doesn't
matter much anyway.

Put the whole 24MB here, probe the framebuffer address and size
in the platform code?

This isn't an interrupt controller, don't put #interrupt-cells
here.

XFB address isn't fixed on the hardware, and the kernel might
want to move it, and you can easily probe for it anyway.  Remove
these last two properties please.

These two have the same address, not good.  Just remove the

I always thought optical discs are spelled with a "c", but
people disagree a lot on this :-)

reply, of course.

Wow, it wasn't as bad as I expected actually.  But you cheated,
you omitted most devices from the device trees :-)

Isn't this needed to define what is to be expected in the "interrupts" properties of the child nodes?

I'll clean that too. The location of the framebuffer will be a platform code decission, instead of a device tree "setting".

The DSP and the ARAM control/status bits share some registers in the same block.

How should I match the aram block driver if I remove the auxram node?

The "disk" here comes from "Disk Interface" (DI) as described by Nintendo patents about the GameCube.
So I chose "k" here :)

On the other hand it is a useful "documentation" to specify the exact
range decoded when you know it :-) For non documented HW I prefer when
the DT contains as precise information as possible. It also allows, if
so wished, to create proper hierarchical struct resource in the kernel
that represent the bus hierarchy in a nicer way. So I vote for keeping
that in.

Note that this is a linux-ism no ? (aka ePAPRism). If they aim toward
having a real OF which I think they do they may wish to pass on this
trick.

I agree with using the same form as reg. I'm not sure about using "reg",
it depends. Albert, is that xfb location something that is configurable
or is it fixed ? If it's configurable, it could remain a separate
property I suppose, since it overlaps main memory, it's a bit fishy to
have it in "reg"... you do seem to strip off the fb from the memory
"reg" property though... Maybe the right thing to do is to leave the
memory "reg" property to be the whole RAM and just reserve the area
covered by the fb ?

It's not even the internal bus. Flipper and Hollywood are separate chips
from the PPC afaik. They are integrated northbridge + gfx + IOs
basically.

Agreed. That's what I was proposing. Though you need to be careful about
early boot code that will try to allocate the hash table etc... or even
the DT itself. So you need to probe and reserve the fb really early,
for example in the platform probe() routine itself. Or you can stick it
in the reserve map too I suppose.

Ok but you need to know what it was setup to by the FW no ? To avoid
having a temporary display "glitch" while booting... Also on a 24M
config,it might get tough for the driver to allocate 2M contiguous like
that if it's done late in the boot process.

But this isn't real OF.  Real OF can generate its own valid tree.
This is a flat tree, and it is valid according to all users of the
flat tree.  Besides, the last time we talked about this, you told me
that moving it to the root was a good idea, and I happily changed all
the 5200 .dts files.  :-)

Oh sure. I wasn't sure what the situation vs. real OF was. I just know
Segher is doing one and it would be nice to have the closest tree :-)

But no big deal, I'm happy with it at the root. I prefer not ommiting it

Linux doesn't require it; (old) Macs are like this, for example,

Hrm, actually, DSP and AI should be separate nodes, and ARAM a child
of DSP (on its own bus, so it can show that it is 16MB etc.)

Not the "decoded" range in this case, that is 0..4G :-)  The "canonical"
ranges is nice doc, yes.

Nope, it is from the standard interrupt mapping recommended practice.
It is fine.

We do.

It works fine on old macs thanks to a quirk we enable in the mac code
iirc and old maple works thanks to mere luck with the fallback code we
have which reads things of PCI config space :-)

Don't rely on that.

Cheers,
Ben.

It is standard OF.  Let's fix the Linux code if that is needed (and I  
don't
think it is, anyway).

OTOH, it's nice to use the interrupt mapping stuff in all new device  
trees.

Nope.  Only interrupt controllers have a #interrupt-cells.  When
interpreting the "interrupts" property of some node, you walk the
interrupt tree (which can be the same as the device tree, or fully
separate, or share some things; and doesn't have to be a tree either)
up to the next interrupt controller, and use the #interrupt-cells
from that.  (This is simplified a little bit).

You can make aram a child node of dsp, which allows you to show
its size as well.  I.e. you do #a-cells=1 #s-cells=1 in the dsp
node, and reg=<0 01000000> in the aram node.

Or you can do a simple property in the dsp node saying how big
the aram is, and assume the driver(s) that match know(s) how to
drive it.  You have to assume this anyway, you're not putting
e.g. bytecode drivers in the device tree ;-)

I'll do that later, yes.  It's not so big a problem if the device
tree doesn't describe devices you do not support at all.

Either that, or not have these omnibus nodes at all, they are useless
and do not describe the hardware very well either.
