-* Qualcomm QCA7000 (Ethernet over SPI protocol)
+* Qualcomm QCA7000
-Note: The QCA7000 is useable as a SPI device. In this case it must be defined
-as a child of a SPI master in the device tree.
+The QCA7000 is a serial-to-powerline bridge with a host interface which could
+be configured either as SPI or UART slave. This configuration is done by
+the QCA7000 firmware.

+(a) Ethernet over SPI
+
+In order to use the QCA7000 as SPI device it must be defined as a child of a
+SPI master in the device tree.
Required properties:
-- compatible : Should be "qca,qca7000"
-- reg : Should specify the SPI chip select
-- interrupts : The first cell should specify the index of the source interrupt
- and the second cell should specify the trigger type as rising edge
-- spi-cpha : Must be set
-- spi-cpol: Must be set
+- compatible : Should be "qca,qca7000"
+- reg : Should specify the SPI chip select
+- interrupts : The first cell should specify the index of the source
+ interrupt and the second cell should specify the trigger
+ type as rising edge
+- spi-cpha : Must be set
+- spi-cpol : Must be set
Optional properties:
-- interrupt-parent : Specify the pHandle of the source interrupt
+- interrupt-parent : Specify the pHandle of the source interrupt
- spi-max-frequency : Maximum frequency of the SPI bus the chip can operate at.
- Numbers smaller than 1000000 or greater than 16000000 are invalid. Missing
- the property will set the SPI frequency to 8000000 Hertz.
-- local-mac-address: 6 bytes, MAC address
-- qca,legacy-mode : Set the SPI data transfer of the QCA7000 to legacy mode.
- In this mode the SPI master must toggle the chip select between each data
- word. In burst mode these gaps aren't necessary, which is faster.
- This setting depends on how the QCA7000 is setup via GPIO pin strapping.
- If the property is missing the driver defaults to burst mode.
