+* UART-based PM MCU restart driver
+
+Some devices have a microcontroller controlling the main power
+supply. This microcontroller is connected to UART of the SoC.
+Sending a sequence of characters tells the MCU to reset the SoC
+and/or MCU itself.
+
+The length of the sequence, baud rate and the timeout to process
+the command may vary from device to device.
+
+This driver could be used for WD My Cloud (Marvell SoCs), QNAP
+(Kirkwood and Orion5x SoCs) and Synology NAS devices.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "uart-restart"
+- reg: Address and length of the register set for UART
+- clocks: The tclk clock
+- cmd: Array of bytes, the command to send to the MCU
+- baud: Baud rate [75..460800]
+
+Optional properties:
+- byte-delay: A delay after each byte of a command, could be useful
+ for sloppy MCUs [ms], default value is 5
+- timeout: A timeout to wait for the MCU to process the command [ms],
+ default value is 1000
+- override: Boolean flag that indicates if the driver should
+ prioritize itself over any existing restart driver,
+ default behaviour is not to interfere
+
+Example:
+ restart@12100 {
+ compatible = "uart-restart";
+ reg = <0x12100 0x100>;
+ clocks = <&coreclk 0>;
+ baud = <19200>;
+ cmd = [fa 03 03 02 00 00 fb];
+ override;
+ status = "okay";
+ };
This adds device tree bindings of the restart driver for power managing micro controller units that are connected to a board via the UART interface.
