+BMan Node
+
+The Buffer Manager is part of the Data-Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA).
+BMan supports hardware allocation and deallocation of buffers belonging to pools
+originally created by software with configurable depletion thresholds. This
+binding covers the CCSR space programming model

+
+BMan Private Memory Node
+
+BMan requires a contiguous range of physical memory used for the backing store
+for BMan Free Buffer Proxy Records (FBPR). This memory is reserved/allocated as
+a node under the /reserved-memory node.
+
+The BMan FBPR memory node must be named "bman-fbpr"
+
+PROPERTIES
+
+- compatible
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <stringlist>
+ Definition: PPC platforms: Must include "fsl,bman-fbpr"
+ ARM platforms: Must include "shared-dma-pool"
+ as well as the "no-map" property
+
+The following constraints are relevant to the FBPR private memory:
+ - The size must be 2^(size + 1), with size = 11..33. That is 4 KiB to
+ 16 GiB
+ - The alignment must be a muliptle of the memory size
+
+The size of the FBPR must be chosen by observing the hardware features configured
+via the Reset Configuration Word (RCW) and that are relevant to a specific board
+(e.g. number of MAC(s) pinned-out, number of offline/host command FMan ports,
+etc.). The size configured in the DT must reflect the hardware capabilities and
+not the specific needs of an application
+
+For additional details about reserved memory regions see reserved-memory.txt
+
+EXAMPLE
+
+The example below shows a BMan FBPR dynamic allocation memory node
+
+ reserved-memory {
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <2>;
+ ranges;
+
+ bman_fbpr: bman-fbpr {
+ compatible = "shared-mem-pool";
+ size = <0 0x1000000>;
+ alignment = <0 0x1000000>;
+ no-map;
+ };
+ };
+
+The example below shows a (P4080) BMan CCSR-space node
+
+ bportals: bman-portals@ff4000000 {
+ ...
+ };
+
+ crypto@300000 {
+ ...
+ fsl,bman = <&bman, 2>;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ bman: bman@31a000 {
+ compatible = "fsl,bman";
+ reg = <0x31a000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <16 2 1 2>;
+ fsl,liodn = <0x17>;
+ fsl,bman-portals = <&bportals>;
+ memory-region = <&bman_fbpr>;
+ };
+
+ fman@400000 {
+ ...
+ fsl,bman = <&bman, 0>;
+ ...
+ };
