+Texas Instruments Keystone Navigator Queue Management SubSystem driver
+======================================================================
+
+Driver source code path
+ drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss.c
+ drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss_acc.c
+
+The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of
+the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone
+multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure
+processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure
+Packet DMA.
+The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
+management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or
+reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs
+perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management.
+Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in
+descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.
+The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions,
+queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor
+pool management.
+
+knav qmss driver provides a set of APIs to drivers to open/close qmss queues,
+allocate descriptor pools, map the descriptors, push/pop to queues etc. For
+details of the available APIs, please refers to include/linux/soc/ti/knav_qmss.h
+
+DT documentation is available at
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/ti/keystone-navigator-qmss.txt
+
+Accumulator QMSS queues using PDSP firmware
+============================================
+The QMSS PDSP firmware support accumulator channel that can monitor a single
+queue or multiple contiguous queues. drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss_acc.c is the
+driver that interface with the accumulator PDSP. This configures
+accumulator channels defined in DTS (example in DT documentation) to monitor
+1 or 32 queues per channel. More description on the firmware is available in
+CPPI/QMSS Low Level Driver document (docs/CPPI_QMSS_LLD_SDS.pdf) at
+
+ git://git.ti.com/keystone-rtos/qmss-lld.git
+
+k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin firmware supports upto 48 accumulator
+channels. This firmware is available under ti-keystone folder of
+firmware.git at
+
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
+
+To use copy the firmware image to lib/firmware folder of the initramfs or
+ubifs file system and provide a sym link to k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin
+in the file system and boot up the kernel. User would see
+
+ "firmware file ks2_qmss_pdsp_acc48.bin downloaded for PDSP"
+
+in the boot up log if loading of firmware to PDSP is successful.
+
+Use of accumulated queues requires the firmware image to be present in the
+file system. The driver doesn't acc queues to the supported queue range if
+PDSP is not running in the SoC. The API call fails if there is a queue open
+request to an acc queue and PDSP is not running. So make sure to copy firmware
+to file system before using these queue types.

+TI Keystone Linux Overview
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+Keystone range of SoCs are based on ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore Processors
+and c66x DSP cores. This document describes essential information required
+for users to run Linux on Keystone based EVMs from Texas Instruments.
+
+Following SoCs & EVMs are currently supported:-
+
+K2HK SoC and EVM
+=================
+
+a.k.a Keystone 2 Hawking/Kepler SoC
+TCI6636K2H & TCI6636K2K: See documentation at
+
+ http://www.ti.com/product/tci6638k2k
+ http://www.ti.com/product/tci6638k2h
+
+EVM:
+ http://www.advantech.com/Support/TI-EVM/EVMK2HX_sd.aspx
+
+K2E SoC and EVM
+===============
+
+a.k.a Keystone 2 Edison SoC
+
+K2E - 66AK2E05:
+
+See documentation at
+
+ http://www.ti.com/product/66AK2E05/technicaldocuments
+
+EVM:
+ https://www.einfochips.com/index.php/partnerships/texas-instruments/k2e-evm.html
+
+K2L SoC and EVM
+===============
+
+a.k.a Keystone 2 Lamarr SoC
+
+K2L - TCI6630K2L:
+
+See documentation at
+ http://www.ti.com/product/TCI6630K2L/technicaldocuments
+
+EVM:
+ https://www.einfochips.com/index.php/partnerships/texas-instruments/k2l-evm.html
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+All of the K2 SoCs/EVMs share a common defconfig, keystone_defconfig and same
+image is used to boot on individual EVMs. The platform configuration is
+specified through DTS. Following are the DTS used:
+
+ K2HK EVM:
+ k2hk-evm.dts
+ K2E EVM:
+ k2e-evm.dts
+ K2L EVM:
+ k2l-evm.dts
+
+The device tree documentation for the keystone machines are located at
+
