However, we have a facility to match devicetree +nodes to probed engines. This allows for fsi engines to expose non-probeable +busses, which are then exposed by the device tree. For example, an FSI engine +that is an I2C master - the I2C bus can be described by the device tree under +the engine's device tree node. + +FSI masters may require their own DT nodes (to describe the master HW itself); +that requirement is defined by the master's implementation, and is described by +the fsi-master-* binding specifications. + +Under the masters' nodes, we can describe the bus topology using nodes to +represent the FSI slaves and their slave engines. As a basic outline: + + fsi-master { + /* top-level of FSI bus topology, bound to an FSI master driver and + * exposes an FSI bus */ + + fsi-slave@<link,id> { + /* this node defines the FSI slave device, and is handled + * entirely with FSI core code */ + + fsi-slave-engine@<addr> { + /* this node defines the engine endpoint & address range, which + * is bound to the relevant fsi device driver */ + ... + }; + + fsi-slave-engine@<addr> { + ... + }; + + }; + }; + +Note that since the bus is probe-able, some (or all) of the topology may +not be described; this binding only provides an optional facility for +adding subordinate device tree nodes as children of FSI engines. + +FSI masters +----------- + +FSI master nodes declare themselves as such with the "fsi-master" compatible +value. It's likely that an implementation-specific compatible value will +be needed as well, for example: + + compatible = "fsi-master-gpio", "fsi-master"; + +Since the master nodes describe the top-level of the FSI topology, they also +need to declare the FSI-standard addressing scheme. This requires two cells for +addresses (link index and slave ID), and no size: + + #address-cells = <2>; + #size-cells = <0>; + +An optional boolean property can be added to indicate that a particular master +should not scan for connected devices at initialization time. This is +necessary in cases where a scan could cause arbitration issues with other +masters that may be present on the bus. + + no-scan-on-init; + +FSI slaves +---------- + +Slaves are identified by a (link-index, slave-id) pair, so require two cells +for an address identifier. Since these are not a range, no size cells are +required. For an example, a slave on link 1, with ID 2, could be represented +as: + + cfam@1,2 { + reg = <1 2>; + [...]; + } + +Each slave provides an address-space, under which the engines are accessible. +That address space has a maximum of 23 bits, so we use one cell to represent +addresses and sizes in the slave address space: + + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + +Optionally, a slave can provide a global unique chip ID which is used to +identify the physical location of the chip in a system specific way + + chip-id = <0>; + +FSI engines (devices) +--------------------- + +Engines are identified by their address under the slaves' address spaces. We +use a single cell for address and size. Engine nodes represent the endpoint +FSI device, and are passed to those FSI device drivers' ->probe() functions. + +For example, for a slave using a single 0x400-byte page starting at address +0xc00: + + engine@c00 { + reg = <0xc00 0x400>; + }; + + +Full example +------------ + +Here's an example that illustrates: + - an FSI master + - connected to an FSI slave + - that contains an engine that is an I2C master + - connected to an I2C EEPROM + +The FSI master may be connected to additional slaves, and slaves may have +additional engines, but they don't necessarily need to be describe in the +device tree if no extra platform information is required. + + /* The GPIO-based FSI master node, describing the top level of the + * FSI bus + */ + gpio-fsi { + compatible = "fsi-master-gpio", "fsi-master"; + #address-cells = <2>; + #size-cells = <0>; + + /* A FSI slave (aka. CFAM) at link 0, ID 0. */ + cfam@0,0 { + reg = <0 0>; + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + chip-id = <0>; + + /* FSI engine at 0xc00, using a single page. In this example, + * it's an I2C master controller, so subnodes describe the + * I2C bus. + */ + i2c-controller@c00 { + reg = <0xc00 0x400>; + + /* Engine-specific data. In this case, we're describing an + * I2C bus, so we're conforming to the generic I2C binding + */ + compatible = "some-vendor,fsi-i2c-controller"; + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + + /* I2C endpoint device: an Atmel EEPROM */ + eeprom@50 { + compatible = "atmel,24c256"; + reg = <0x50>; + pagesize = <64>; + }; + }; + }; + }; |
