With that: > > Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> What if we have multiple BPMP I2C buses? The node names need to be unique, and there's no concept of register number so we can't use a unit address to do that. I guess we could go for plain "i2c" for now and defer the more general naming discussion until some later point if/when we actually instantiate multiple buses, but I would like to confirm we can solve the problem if/when that time comes. (As an aside, "pwr-i2c" might be a better name for the current bus, when the time comes, since any/all I2C nodes inside the BPMP would be BPMP I2C buses). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

As such, child device nodes will have no reg > +property, and the BPMP node will have no #address-cells or #size-cells property. My understanding is that the I2C bus number is passed as part of the request to the BPMP firmware. Does that not count as addressing? Could we not represent that generically using a device tree hierarchy? I'm thinking something along these lines: bpmp { ... services { i2c { i2c@0 { reg = <0>; ... }; i2c@1 { reg = <1>; ... }; ... }; spi { ... }; ... }; ... }; Note that we could probably do without the "services" node, but this is explicit in categorizing these as services exposed by the BPMP. We might need the extra node to work around the issue that some child nodes of the BPMP node don't have a reg property (configuration nodes), whereas any of the services would have those. Although you could make the top- level "i2c" and "spi" nodes take #address-cells and #size-cells properties. Thierry

Can you please talk to Thierry and work out what the binding would be (perhaps on IRC to expedite things?) and I'll just implement whatever you two agree upon. I don't really care much what the binding looks like any more; I just need something that will pass review.

I'm sure by now the BPMP has long been frozen and if the proposed binding works fine that's good. No need to over-engineer. If we ever need more than one I2C (or expose other busses) I'm sure we can find a way to switch to something like the above later on. Like I said, that's very unlikely to happen on Tegra186, so we'll have a new compatible string (and hence an easy way to differentiate between these bindings) anyway. Thierry

That's fine, I did ack that. I really don't want to ask, but why are you documenting in u-boot? Is it some how different for u-boot?

Is > it some how different for u-boot? There's a copy of the DT binding documents in U-Boot as well. At least for the bindings I deal with, they should be the same, although the U-Boot copies might get stale as hopefully-backwards-compatible enhancements are made to the kernel versions. I'm implementing a U-Boot driver for this new feature, so am copying these new binding docs into the U-Boot DT binding docs directory too. I'd be happy personally not to have another copy of the bindings, and just tell people to refer to the docs in the kernel, or any other canonical source, but that's not my call. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
