Would you be able to have a look at this binding? The driver won't be
upstreamed as hwmon driver (as per Guenter's comments). I am currently
converting the driver to a "soc" driver instead, but the proposed
binding remains unchanged.

If you have comments or suggestions, I would like to incorporate them
with the new series I will be sending out.

Thanks,
-Markus

To explain a bit more what we are looking for: we had a internal
discussions how to structure this binding and are looking for some
guidance.

Should we create three different nodes for the three different memory
areas (dpfe-cpu@..., dpfe-dmem@..., dpfe-imem@...), each with a single
"reg" property (which is the proposal below) or should this be one
single property with 3 "reg" cells, i.e. something like this:

dpfe-cpu@f1132000 {
    ...
    reg = <0xf1132000 0x180     /* register space */
           0xf1134000 0x1000    /* data memory */
           0xf1138000 0x4000>;  /* instruction memory */
    ...
};

-Markus

Either way could be okay. It is conceptually 1 thing or 3?

3 compatibles is a bit excessive. You can always use 
brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-cpu as a fallback for other chips. I wouldn't expect a 
DDR phy to be around a long time without changes given process and DDR 
technology changes.

Don't use cell-index. It's not a valid property for FDT (only real 
OpenFirmware).

My bad, I was advising Markus to use this property since it was largely
used throughout Documentation/devicetree/bindings/. What would be a more
appropriate way to have the same information? Aliases?

Hopefully this will be the last time we need to pester you about this.
What should we be using instead of cell-index to identify multiple
instances of a device?

To give you an idea of what the code looks like right now:

ret = of_property_read_u32(dev->of_node, "cell-index", &index);
if (ret)
    index = 0;
[...]
dev_set_name(dpfe_dev, "dpfe%u", index);
ret = device_register(dpfe_dev);

Enumerating the devices like this is what we are after.

Thanks,
-Markus

+DDR PHY Front End (DPFE) for Broadcom STB
+=========================================
+
+DPFE and the DPFE firmware provide an interface for the host CPU to
+communicate with the DCPU, which resides inside the DDR PHY.
+
+There are three memory regions for interacting with the DCPU.
+
+The DCPU Register Space
+-----------------------
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: must be one of brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-cpu, brcm,dpfe-cpu-v12.0.0.0
+    or brcm,dpfe-cpu
+  - reg: must reference the start address and length of the DCPU register
+    space
+
+Optional properties:
+  - cell-index: the index of the DPFE instance; will default to 0 if not set
+
+Example:
+	dpfe_cpu0: dpfe-cpu@f1132000 {
+		compatible = "brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-cpu",
+			"brcm,dpfe-cpu-v12.0.0.0",
+			"brcm,dpfe-cpu";
+		reg = <0xf1132000 0x180>;
+		cell-index = <0>;
+	};
+
+The DCPU Data Memory Space
+--------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: must be one of brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-dmem, brcm,dpfe-dmem-v12.0.0.0
+    or brcm,dpfe-dmem
+  - reg: must reference the start address and length of the DCPU DMEM space
+
+Optional properties:
+  - cell-index: the index of the DPFE instance; will default to 0 if not set
+
+Example:
+	dpfe_dmem0: dpfe-dmem@f1134000 {
+		compatible = "brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-dmem",
+			"brcm,dpfe-dmem-v12.0.0.0",
+			"brcm,dpfe-dmem";
+		reg = <0xf1134000 0x1000>;
+		cell-index = <0>;
+	};
+
+The DCPU Instruction Memory Space
+---------------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: must be one of brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-imem, brcm,dpfe-imem-v12.0.0.0
+    or brcm,dpfe-imem
+  - reg: must reference the start address and length of the DCPU IMEM space
+
+Optional properties:
+  - cell-index: the index of the DPFE instance; will default to 0 if not set
+
+Example:
+	dpfe_imem0: dpfe-imem@f1138000 {
+		compatible = "brcm,bcm7271-dpfe-imem",
+			"brcm,dpfe-imem-v12.0.0.0",
