+* Xen hypervisor device tree bindings
+
+Xen ARM virtual platforms shall have a top-level "hypervisor" node with
+the following properties:
+
+- compatible:
+ compatible = "xen,xen-<version>", "xen,xen";
+ where <version> is the version of the Xen ABI of the platform.
+
+- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of a region in
+ memory where the grant table should be mapped to, using an
+ HYPERVISOR_memory_op hypercall. The memory region is large enough to map
+ the whole grant table (it is larger or equal to gnttab_max_grant_frames()).
+ This property is unnecessary when booting Dom0 using ACPI.
+
+- interrupts: the interrupt used by Xen to inject event notifications.
+ A GIC node is also required.
+ This property is unnecessary when booting Dom0 using ACPI.
+
+To support UEFI on Xen ARM virtual platforms, Xen populates the FDT "uefi" node
+under /hypervisor with following parameters:
+
+________________________________________________________________________________
+Name | Size | Description
+================================================================================
+xen,uefi-system-table | 64-bit | Guest physical address of the UEFI System
+ | | Table.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+xen,uefi-mmap-start | 64-bit | Guest physical address of the UEFI memory
+ | | map.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+xen,uefi-mmap-size | 32-bit | Size in bytes of the UEFI memory map
+ | | pointed to in previous entry.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+xen,uefi-mmap-desc-size | 32-bit | Size in bytes of each entry in the UEFI
+ | | memory map.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+xen,uefi-mmap-desc-ver | 32-bit | Version of the mmap descriptor format.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Example (assuming #address-cells = <2> and #size-cells = <2>):
+
+hypervisor {
+ compatible = "xen,xen-4.3", "xen,xen";
+ reg = <0 0xb0000000 0 0x20000>;
+ interrupts = <1 15 0xf08>;
+ uefi {
+ xen,uefi-system-table = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
+ xen,uefi-mmap-start = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
+ xen,uefi-mmap-size = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
+ xen,uefi-mmap-desc-size = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
+ xen,uefi-mmap-desc-ver = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
+ };
+};
+
+The format and meaning of the "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in
+Documentation/arm/uefi.rst, which are provided by the regular UEFI stub. However
+they differ because they are provided by the Xen hypervisor, together with a set
+of UEFI runtime services implemented via hypercalls, see
+http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/hypercall/x86_64/include,public,platform.h.html.
