+u-boot,bootcount-device property
+--------------------------------
+In a DM-based system, the bootcount may be stored in a device known to
+the DM framework (e.g. in a battery-backed SRAM area within a RTC
+device).  To identify the device to be used for the bootcount, the
+u-boot,bootcount-device property needs to point to the target device.
+
+Further configuration in the target device's node may be required
+(e.g. an offset into an I2C RTC's address space), depending on the
+UCLASS of the target device.
+
+Example
+-------
+/ {
+	chosen {
+	        u-boot,bootcount-device = &rv3029;
+	};
+
+	i2c2 {
+	        rv3029: rtc@56 {
+		                compatible = "mc,rv3029";
+		                reg = <0x56>;
+				u-boot,bootcount-offset = <0x38>;
+		};
+	};
+};
