+Device tree bindings for NVIDIA Tegra Generic Memory Interface bus
+
+The Generic Memory Interface bus enables memory transfers between internal and
+external memory. Can be used to attach various high speed devices such as
+synchronous/asynchronous NOR, FPGA, UARTS and more.
+
+The actual devices are instantiated from the child nodes of a GMI node.

+Required properties:
+  - compatible : Should contain one of the following:
+        For Tegra20 must contain "nvidia,tegra20-gmi".
+        For Tegra30 must contain "nvidia,tegra30-gmi".
+ - reg: Should contain GMI controller registers location and length.
+ - clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
+ - clock-names: Must include the following entries: "gmi"
+ - resets : Must contain an entry for each entry in reset-names.
+ - reset-names : Must include the following entries: "gmi"
+ - #address-cells: The number of cells used to represent physical base
+   addresses in the GMI address space.
+ - #size-cells: The number of cells used to represent the size of an address
+   range in the GMI address space.
+ - ranges: Mapping of the GMI address space to the CPU address space.
+
+Note that the GMI controller does not have any internal chip-select address
+decoding and if you want to access multiple devices external chip-select
+decoding must be provided. Furthermore, if you do have external logic to
The above is not 100% accurate. I would say that because there is no
chip-select address decoding, chip-selects either need to be managed via
software or by employing external chip-select decoding logic.

+support multiple devices this would assume that the devices use the same

Again this is only true for the case where you have external chip-select
decoding logic, but would not be the case if software were to manage the
chip-selects.
ACK

+Optional properties:
+
+ - nvidia,snor-data-width-32bit: Use 32bit data-bus, default is 16bit.

+ - nvidia,snor-rdy-active-before-data: Assert RDY signal one cycle before data.

+ - nvidia,snor-cs-inv: CS signal is active high
+ - nvidia,snor-cs-select: CS output pin configuration. Default is CS0
Nit ... I think "nvidia,snor-cs" is sufficient for the name. But I am
not sure if we even need this. See below.

ce-width only occupies a 4-bit field and so the max is 15.

... ranges is needed here? If we do have it, I am wondering if it should
be a single entry for the chip-select that is being used. For now we
could only support a ranges with one entry.

        #size-cells = <1>;
        ranges = <4 0x48000000 0x00040000>;
I prefer if we have "ranges" with one single entry, and warn if user enters
multiple for now, like we discussed earlier. Should have really done it in
this series.

I would have expected these under bus@X node as they are specific to the
GMI CS.
Yes, that is true.
I would also expect that the actual chip-select number is encoded in the
reg property.

ACK.
No mention of this bus node in the above documentation.
I was hesitant documenting it since I am not sure if we really need it
in a generic case? It does make sense in my
specific case. But what would it look like if we could maintain CS in software.

Do you then have a bus node per CS? I am guessing not. Is it enough to
document it in my "example brief"?

I should probably extend the example with some more configurations,
e.g. only one child node.

What I am thinking is something like

Example with two SJA1000 CAN controllers connected to the GMI bus.
We wrap the controllers with a  simple-bus node since they are
all connected to the same chip-select (CS4) but external address decoding is
provided in hardware:

  gmi@70090000 {
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <1>;
    ranges = <4 0x48000000 0x00040000>;

    bus@4 {
      compatible = "simple-bus";
      reg = <4>;

      #address-cells = <1>;
      #size-cells = <1>;

      nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
      nvidia,snor-adv-inv;

      can@0 {
        reg = <0 0x100>;
        ...
      };

      can@40000 {
        reg = <0x40000 0x100>;
        ...
      };
    };
  };

Example with one SJA1000 CAN controller connected to the GMI bus
on CS4:

  gmi@70090000 {
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <1>;
    ranges = <4 0x48000000 0x00040000>;

   can@4 {
      nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
      nvidia,snor-adv-inv;
      reg = <4 0x100>;
      ...
   };
};
quoted
+      compatible = "simple-bus";
+      reg = <0 0>;
reg = <4>;

We should look up the chip-select from the reg property.
ACK.
quoted
+      ranges;
+
+      #address-cells = <1>;
+      #size-cells = <1>;
+
+      can@48000000 {
+        reg = <0x48000000 0x100>;
+        ...

+        reg = <0x48040000 0x100>;
+        ...
+      };
If we use ranges we could have ...

        can@0 {
                reg = <0x0 0x100>;
                ...
        };

        can@40000 {
                reg = <0x40000 0x100>;
                ...
        };

Nit ... please use tabs for spacing as we do in the dtsi/dts files.
ACK.
