This isn't per-se a real device, it's a pseudo-device that
represents the use of the Aspeed built-in ColdFire to
implement the FSI protocol by bitbanging the GPIOs instead
of doing it from the ARM core.

Thus it's a drop-in replacement for the existing
fsi-master-gpio pseudo-device for use on systems for which
a corresponding firmware file exists. It has most of the
same properties, plus some more needed to operate the
coprocessor.

So the gpio info is pased to the CF? Otherwise, what's the point of

Vendor prefixes.

firmware-name is used in some other places (and is the full filename).

Vendor prefix unless you think this could be common.

It's not really a SOC block from a vendor, it's a pseudo-device in a
way. The current one that doesn't use the coldfire offload is just
compatible "fsi-master-gpio".

I can add a vendor but what should it be ? aspeed because it runs on
the aspeed SoCs only ? ibm because we wrote it and FSI is an IBM
protocol ?

<soc>-<block> doesn't make sense here though.

In the original version you are looking at, they are not passed to the
CF per-se but the driver does use aspeed GPIO specific APIs to
configure them to be owned by the CF, so we need the references.

However, I've just reworked the ucode with a few tricks to avoid losing
singificant performance, so that we can indeed pass them to the CF,
thus avoiding the need for a per-system image, so the above are here to
stay.

On what ? Why would an "sram" pointer have a vendor prefix ? Or a
memory region pointer ?

It's gone in the latest version as there's a single FW file now for all
systems.

It's going away.

I would say aspeed as it is tied to their chip.

But you do already have <soc> in the compatible, but in a slightly
different form and position. And "cf" is the block.

So I'd propose: aspeed,ast2500-cf-fsi-master

memory-region is a standard property. sram and cvic are not, so should
have vendor prefixes. However, perhaps we should add a common "sram"
property to sram/sram.txt.

Hrm... originally vendor prefix on properties were for things that
didn't have a binding afaik. IE a way for an f-code driver to stash
things in the DT that were vendor specific and retrieve them from the
OS driver for example.

Here with well defined bindings it's rather bloaty don't you think ? I
don't strongly object to doing it, it's just a bit ... odd.

Cheers,
Ben.
