+* Freescale General-Purpose Media Interface (GPMI)
+
+The GPMI nand controller provides an interface to control the
+NAND flash chips.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible : should be "fsl,<chip>-gpmi-nand", chip can be:
+ * imx23
+ * imx28
+ * imx6q
+ * imx6sx
+ * imx7d
+ - reg : should contain registers location and length for gpmi and bch.
+ - reg-names: Should contain the reg names "gpmi-nand" and "bch"
+ - interrupts : BCH interrupt number.
+ - interrupt-names : Should be "bch".
+ - dmas: DMA specifier, consisting of a phandle to DMA controller node
+ and GPMI DMA channel ID.
+ Refer to dma.txt and fsl-mxs-dma.txt for details.
+ - dma-names: Must be "rx-tx".
+ - clocks : clocks phandle and clock specifier corresponding to each clock
+ specified in clock-names.
+ - clock-names : The "gpmi_io" clock is always required. Which clocks are
+ exactly required depends on chip:
+ * imx23/imx28 : "gpmi_io"
+ * imx6q/sx : "gpmi_io", "gpmi_apb", "gpmi_bch", "gpmi_bch_apb", "per1_bch"
+ * imx7d : "gpmi_io", "gpmi_bch_apb"
+
+Optional properties:
+ - nand-on-flash-bbt: boolean to enable on flash bbt option if not
+ present false
+ - fsl,use-minimum-ecc: Protect this NAND flash with the minimum ECC
+ strength required. The required ECC strength is
+ automatically discoverable for some flash
+ (e.g., according to the ONFI standard).
+ However, note that if this strength is not
+ discoverable or this property is not enabled,
+ the software may chooses an implementation-defined
+ ECC scheme.
+ - fsl,no-blockmark-swap: Don't swap the bad block marker from the OOB
+ area with the byte in the data area but rely on the
+ flash based BBT for identifying bad blocks.
+ NOTE: this is only valid in conjunction with
+ 'nand-on-flash-bbt'.
+ WARNING: on i.MX28 blockmark swapping cannot be
+ disabled for the BootROM in the FCB. Thus,
+ partitions written from Linux with this feature
+ turned on may not be accessible by the BootROM
+ code.
+ - nand-ecc-strength: integer representing the number of bits to correct
+ per ECC step. Needs to be a multiple of 2.
+ - nand-ecc-step-size: integer representing the number of data bytes
+ that are covered by a single ECC step. The driver
+ supports 512 and 1024.
+
+The device tree may optionally contain sub-nodes describing partitions of the
+address space. See partition.txt for more detail.
+
+Examples:
+
+gpmi-nand@8000c000 {
+ compatible = "fsl,imx28-gpmi-nand";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ reg = <0x8000c000 2000>, <0x8000a000 2000>;
+ reg-names = "gpmi-nand", "bch";
+ interrupts = <41>;
+ interrupt-names = "bch";
+ dmas = <&dma_apbh 4>;
+ dma-names = "rx-tx";
+
+ partition@0 {
+ ...
+ };
+};
