+Generic hwlock bindings
+=======================
+
+Generic bindings that are common to all the hwlock platform specific driver
+implementations.
+
+Please also look through the individual platform specific hwlock binding
+documentations for identifying any additional properties specific to that
+platform.
+
+hwlock providers:
+=================
+
+Required properties:
+- #hwlock-cells:        Specifies the number of cells needed to represent a
+                        specific lock.
+
+hwlock users:
+=============
+
+Consumers that require specific hwlock(s) should specify them using the
+property "hwlocks", and an optional "hwlock-names" property.
+
+Required properties:
+- hwlocks:              List of phandle to a hwlock provider node and an
+                        associated hwlock args specifier as indicated by
+                        #hwlock-cells. The list can have just a single hwlock
+                        or multiple hwlocks, with each hwlock represented by
+                        a phandle and a corresponding args specifier.
+
+Optional properties:
+- hwlock-names:         List of hwlock name strings defined in the same order
+                        as the hwlocks, with one name per hwlock. Consumers can
+                        use the hwlock-names to match and get a specific hwlock.
+
+
+1. Example of a node using a single specific hwlock:
+
+The following example has a node requesting a hwlock in the bank defined by
+the node hwlock1. hwlock1 is a hwlock provider with an argument specifier
+of length 1.
+
+	node {
+		...
+		hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>;
+		...
+	};
+
+2. Example of a node using multiple specific hwlocks:
+
+The following example has a node requesting two hwlocks, a hwlock within
+the hwlock device node 'hwlock1' with #hwlock-cells value of 1, and another
+hwlock within the hwlock device node 'hwlock2' with #hwlock-cells value of 2.
+
+	node {
+		...
+		hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>, <&hwlock2 0 3>;
+		...
+	};
