-I - Introduction
-================
-Boards supported by the arch/powerpc architecture require device tree be
-passed by the boot loader to the kernel at boot time. The device tree
-describes what devices are present on the board and how they are
-connected. The device tree can either be passed as a binary blob (as
-described in Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt), or passed
-by Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) compatible firmware using an OF compatible
-client interface API.
-
-This document specifies the requirements on the device-tree for mpc5200
-based boards. These requirements are above and beyond the details
-specified in either the Open Firmware spec or booting-without-of.txt
-
-All new mpc5200-based boards are expected to match this document. In
-cases where this document is not sufficient to support a new board port,
-this document should be updated as part of adding the new board support.
-
-II - Philosophy
-===============
-The core of this document is naming convention. The whole point of
-defining this convention is to reduce or eliminate the number of
-special cases required to support a 5200 board. If all 5200 boards
-follow the same convention, then generic 5200 support code will work
-rather than coding special cases for each new board.
-
-This section tries to capture the thought process behind why the naming
-convention is what it is.
-
-1. names
----------
-There is strong convention/requirements already established for children
-of the root node. 'cpus' describes the processor cores, 'memory'
-describes memory, and 'chosen' provides boot configuration. Other nodes
-are added to describe devices attached to the processor local bus.
-
-Following convention already established with other system-on-chip
-processors, 5200 device trees should use the name 'soc5200' for the
-parent node of on chip devices, and the root node should be its parent.
-
-Child nodes are typically named after the configured function. ie.
-the FEC node is named 'ethernet', and a PSC in uart mode is named 'serial'.
-
-2. device_type property
------------------------
-similar to the node name convention above; the device_type reflects the
-configured function of a device. ie. 'serial' for a uart and 'spi' for
-an spi controller. However, while node names *should* reflect the
-configured function, device_type *must* match the configured function
-exactly.
-
-3. compatible property
-----------------------
-Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also
-needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property. Compatible
-is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic. For
-the mpc5200, the required format for each compatible value is
-<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. The OS should be able to match a device driver
-to the device based solely on the compatible value. If two drivers
-match on the compatible list; the 'most compatible' driver should be
-selected.
-
-The split between the MPC5200 and the MPC5200B leaves a bit of a
-conundrum. How should the compatible property be set up to provide
-maximum compatibility information; but still accurately describe the
-chip? For the MPC5200; the answer is easy. Most of the SoC devices
-originally appeared on the MPC5200. Since they didn't exist anywhere
-else; the 5200 compatible properties will contain only one item;
-"mpc5200-<device>".
-
-The 5200B is almost the same as the 5200, but not quite. It fixes
-silicon bugs and it adds a small number of enhancements. Most of the
-devices either provide exactly the same interface as on the 5200. A few
-devices have extra functions but still have a backwards compatible mode.
-To express this information as completely as possible, 5200B device trees
-should have two items in the compatible list;
-"mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device>". It is *strongly* recommended
-that 5200B device trees follow this convention (instead of only listing
-the base mpc5200 item).
-
-If another chip appear on the market with one of the mpc5200 SoC
-devices, then the compatible list should include mpc5200-<device>.
-
-ie. ethernet on mpc5200: compatible = "mpc5200-ethernet"
- ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc5200-ethernet"
-
-Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the
-end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify
-"mpc5200-psc-i2s", not "mpc5200-i2s". This convention is chosen to
-avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same
-function. For example, "mpc5200-spi" and "mpc5200-psc-spi" describe
-the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively.
-
-If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the
-compatible property can specify the more generic device type also.
-
-ie. mscan: compatible = "mpc5200-mscan\0fsl,mscan";
-
-At the time of writing, exact chip may be either 'mpc5200' or
-'mpc5200b'.
-
-Device drivers should always try to match as generically as possible.
-
-III - Structure
-===============
-The device tree for an mpc5200 board follows the structure defined in
-booting-without-of.txt with the following additional notes:
-
-0) the root node
-----------------
-Typical root description node; see booting-without-of
-
-1) The cpus node
-----------------
-The cpus node follows the basic layout described in booting-without-of.
-The bus-frequency property holds the XLB bus frequency
-The clock-frequency property holds the core frequency
-
-2) The memory node
-------------------
-Typical memory description node; see booting-without-of.
-
-3) The soc5200 node
--------------------
-This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc5200 based
-board will have this node, and as such there is a common naming
-convention for SOC devices.
-
-Required properties:
-name type description
----- ---- -----------
-device_type string must be "soc"
-ranges int should be <0 baseaddr baseaddr+10000>
-reg int must be <baseaddr 10000>
-compatible string mpc5200: "mpc5200-soc"
- mpc5200b: "mpc5200b-soc\0mpc5200-soc"
-system-frequency int Fsystem frequency; source of all
- other clocks.
-bus-frequency int IPB bus frequency in HZ. Clock rate
- used by most of the soc devices.
-#interrupt-cells int must be <3>.
-
-Recommended properties:
-name type description
----- ---- -----------
-model string Exact model of the chip;
- ie: model="fsl,mpc5200"
-revision string Silicon revision of chip
- ie: revision="M08A"
-
-The 'model' and 'revision' properties are *strongly* recommended. Having
-them presence acts as a bit of a safety net for working around as yet
-undiscovered bugs on one version of silicon. For example, device drivers
-can use the model and revision properties to decide if a bug fix should
-be turned on.
-
-4) soc5200 child nodes
-----------------------
-Any on chip SOC devices available to Linux must appear as soc5200 child nodes.
-
-Note: The tables below show the value for the mpc5200. A mpc5200b device
-tree should use the "mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device> form.
-
-Required soc5200 child nodes:
-name device_type compatible Description
----- ----------- ---------- -----------
-cdm@<addr> cdm mpc5200-cmd Clock Distribution
-pic@<addr> interrupt-controller mpc5200-pic need an interrupt
- controller to boot
-bestcomm@<addr> dma-controller mpc5200-bestcomm 5200 pic also requires
- the bestcomm device
-
-Recommended soc5200 child nodes; populate as needed for your board
-name device_type compatible Description
----- ----------- ---------- -----------
-gpt@<addr> gpt fsl,mpc5200-gpt General purpose timers
-gpt@<addr> gpt fsl,mpc5200-gpt-gpio General purpose
- timers in GPIO mode
-gpio@<addr> fsl,mpc5200-gpio MPC5200 simple gpio
- controller
-gpio@<addr> fsl,mpc5200-gpio-wkup MPC5200 wakeup gpio
- controller
-rtc@<addr> rtc mpc5200-rtc Real time clock
-mscan@<addr> mscan mpc5200-mscan CAN bus controller
-pci@<addr> pci mpc5200-pci PCI bridge
-serial@<addr> serial mpc5200-psc-uart PSC in serial mode
-i2s@<addr> sound mpc5200-psc-i2s PSC in i2s mode
-ac97@<addr> sound mpc5200-psc-ac97 PSC in ac97 mode
-spi@<addr> spi mpc5200-psc-spi PSC in spi mode
-irda@<addr> irda mpc5200-psc-irda PSC in IrDA mode
-spi@<addr> spi mpc5200-spi MPC5200 spi device
-ethernet@<addr> network mpc5200-fec MPC5200 ethernet device
-ata@<addr> ata mpc5200-ata IDE ATA interface
-i2c@<addr> i2c mpc5200-i2c I2C controller
-usb@<addr> usb-ohci-be mpc5200-ohci,ohci-be USB controller
-xlb@<addr> xlb mpc5200-xlb XLB arbitrator
-
-Important child node properties
-name type description
----- ---- -----------
-cell-index int When multiple devices are present, is the
- index of the device in the hardware (ie. There
- are 6 PSC on the 5200 numbered PSC1 to PSC6)
- PSC1 has 'cell-index = <0>'
- PSC4 has 'cell-index = <3>'
-
-5) General Purpose Timer nodes (child of soc5200 node)
-On the mpc5200 and 5200b, GPT0 has a watchdog timer function. If the board
-design supports the internal wdt, then the device node for GPT0 should
-include the empty property 'fsl,has-wdt'.
-
-6) PSC nodes (child of soc5200 node)
-PSC nodes can define the optional 'port-number' property to force assignment
-order of serial ports. For example, PSC5 might be physically connected to
-the port labeled 'COM1' and PSC1 wired to 'COM1'. In this case, PSC5 would
-have a "port-number = <0>" property, and PSC1 would have "port-number = <1>".
-
-PSC in i2s mode: The mpc5200 and mpc5200b PSCs are not compatible when in
-i2s mode. An 'mpc5200b-psc-i2s' node cannot include 'mpc5200-psc-i2s' in the
-compatible field.
-
-7) GPIO controller nodes
-Each GPIO controller node should have the empty property gpio-controller and
-#gpio-cells set to 2. First cell is the GPIO number which is interpreted
-according to the bit numbers in the GPIO control registers. The second cell
-is for flags which is currently unsused.
-
-8) FEC nodes
-The FEC node can specify one of the following properties to configure
-the MII link:
-"fsl,7-wire-mode" - An empty property that specifies the link uses 7-wire
- mode instead of MII
-"current-speed" - Specifies that the MII should be configured for a fixed
- speed. This property should contain two cells. The
- first cell specifies the speed in Mbps and the second
- should be '0' for half duplex and '1' for full duplex
-"phy-handle" - Contains a phandle to an Ethernet PHY.
-
-IV - Extra Notes
-================
-
-1. Interrupt mapping
---------------------
-The mpc5200 pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
-split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups
-interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP. Also, the
-Bestcomm dma engine has it's own set of interrupt sources which are
-cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a
-fourth group, SDMA.
-
-The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc5200 pic consists
-of three cells; <L1 L2 level>
-
- L1 := [CRIT=0, MAIN=1, PERP=2, SDMA=3]
- L2 := interrupt number; directly mapped from the value in the
- "ICTL PerStat, MainStat, CritStat Encoded Register"
- level := [LEVEL_HIGH=0, EDGE_RISING=1, EDGE_FALLING=2, LEVEL_LOW=3]
-
-2. Shared registers
--------------------
-Some SoC devices share registers between them. ie. the i2c devices use
-a single clock control register, and almost all device are affected by
-the port_config register. Devices which need to manipulate shared regs
-should look to the parent SoC node. The soc node is responsible
-for arbitrating all shared register access.
