Technically this bindings describe devices, so "driver binding" is a somewhat odd wording. Perhaps: STMicroelectronics STM32 General Purpose Timer PWM bindings ?
+ +Must be a sub-node of STM32 general purpose timer driver +Parent node properties are describe in ../mfd/stm32-general-purpose-timer.txt
Again, "driver parent node" is odd. Perhaps: Must be a sub-node of an STM32 General Purpose Timer device tree node. See ../mfd/stm32-general-purpose-timer.txt for details about the parent node. ?
+Required parameters: +- compatible: Must be "st,stm32-pwm" +- pinctrl-names: Set to "default". +- pinctrl-0: List of phandles pointing to pin configuration nodes + for PWM module. + For Pinctrl properties, please refer to [1].
Your indentation and capitalization are inconsistent. Also, please refer to the pinctrl bindings by relative path and inline, rather than as a footnote reference.
+ +Optional parameters: +- st,breakinput: Set if the hardware have break input capabilities +- st,breakinput-polarity: Set break input polarity. Default is 0 + The value define the active polarity: + - 0 (active LOW) + - 1 (active HIGH)
Could we fold these into a single property? If st,breakinput-polarity is not present it could simply mean that there is no break input, and if it is present you don't have to rely on a default.
+- st,pwm-num-chan: Number of available PWM channels. Default is 0.
The pwm- prefix is rather redundant since the node is already named pwm. Why not simply st,channels? Or simply channels, since it's not really anything specific to this hardware. Come to think of it, might be worth having a discussion with our DT gurus about what their stance is on using the # as prefix for numbers (such as in #address-cells or #size-cells). This could be #channels to mark it more explicitly as representing a count.
+- st,32bits-counter: Set if the hardware have a 32 bits counter +- st,complementary: Set if the hardware have complementary output channels
"hardware has" and also maybe mention explicitly that this is a boolean property. Otherwise people might be left wondering what it should be set to. Or maybe word this differently to imply that it's boolean: - st,32bits-counter: if present, the hardware has a 32 bit counter - st,complementary: if present, the hardware has a complementary output channel Thierry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
