Add a binding document for the XUSB host complex on NVIDIA Tegra124
and later SoCs.  The XUSB host complex includes a mailbox for
communication with the XUSB micro-controller and an xHCI host-controller.

+NVIDIA Tegra XUSB host copmlex
+==============================
+
+The XUSB host complex on Tegra124 and later SoCs contains an xHCI host
+controller and a mailbox for communication with the XUSB micro-controller.
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+ - compatible: For Tegra124, must contain "nvidia,tegra124-xusb".
+   Otherwise, must contain '"nvidia,<chip>-xusb", "nvidia,tegra124-xusb"'
+   where <chip> is tegra132.
+ - reg: Must contain the base and length of the XUSB FPCI registers.
+ - ranges: Bus address mapping for the XUSB block.  Can be empty since the
+   mapping is 1:1.
+ - #address-cells: Must be 2.
+ - #size-cells: Must be 2.
+
+Example:
+--------
+  usb at 0,70098000 {
+          compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-xusb";
+          reg = <0x0 0x70098000 0x0 0x1000>;
+          ranges;
+
+          #address-cells = <2>;
+          #size-cells = <2>;
+
+          usb-host at 0,70090000 {
+                  compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-xhci";
+                  ...
+          };
+
+          mailbox {
+                  compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-xusb-mbox";
+                  ...
+          };

This doesn't appear to be a proper MFD.  I would have the USB and
Mailbox devices probe seperately and use a phandle to point the USB
device to its Mailbox.

usb at xyz {
    mboxes = <&xusb-mailbox, [chan]>;
};

I am assuming that Andrew had laid it out like this to reflect the hw
structure. The mailbox and xhci controller are part of the xusb
sub-system and hence appear as child nodes. My understanding is that for
device-tree we want the device-tree structure to reflect the actual hw.
Is this not the case?

Yes, the DT files should reflect h/w.  I have requested to see what
the memory map looks like, so I might provide a more appropriate
solution to accepting a pretty pointless MFD.

FWIW, the address map for XUSB looks like this:

XUSB_HOST: 0x70090000 - 0x7009a000
    xHCI registers: 0x70090000 - 0x70098000
    FPCI configuration registers: 0x70098000 - 0x70099000
    IPFS configuration registers: 0x70099000 - 0x7009a000

Two solutions spring to mind.  You can either call
of_platform_populate() from the USB driver, as some already do:

  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-exynos.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-keystone.c:
    error = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-omap.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, qdwc->dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-st.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/musb/musb_am335x.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(pdev->dev.of_node, NULL, NULL, &pdev->dev);

This still requires a small, separate driver to setup the regmap and
do of_platform_populate().  The only difference is it lives in
drivers/usb/ instead of drivers/mfd/.

Or use the "simple-mfd", which is currently in -next:

  git show next/master:Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/mfd.txt

I'm not too opposed to this, but Thierry was when I brought this up
before.  The issue here is that if we ever have to do something
besides setting up a regmap in the MFD, we'd have to change the
binding and break DT backwards-compatibility.

Thanks,
Andrew
