[PATCH V4 4/5] dt-bindings: arm: fsl: add scu binding doc

From: Dong Aisheng <aisheng.dong@nxp.com>
Date: 2018-07-08 14:56:56

Subsystem: open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

The System Controller Firmware (SCFW) is a low-level system function
which runs on a dedicated Cortex-M core to provide power, clock, and
resource management. It exists on some i.MX8 processors. e.g. i.MX8QM
(QM, QP), and i.MX8QX (QXP, DX).

v3->v4:
 * fully change to mailbox binding
 * add child node description
v2->v3:
 * update a bit to mailbox binding

+NXP i.MX System Controller Firmware (SCFW)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The System Controller Firmware (SCFW) is a low-level system function
+which runs on a dedicated Cortex-M core to provide power, clock, and
+resource management. It exists on some i.MX8 processors. e.g. i.MX8QM
+(QM, QP), and i.MX8QX (QXP, DX).
+
+The AP communicates with the SC using a multi-ported MU module found
+in the LSIO subsystem. The current definition of this MU module provides
+5 remote AP connections to the SC to support up to 5 execution environments
+(TZ, HV, standard Linux, etc.). The SC side of this MU module interfaces
+with the LSIO DSC IP bus. The SC firmware will communicate with this MU
+using the MSI bus.
+
+System Controller Device Node:
+=============================
+
+Required properties:
+-------------------
+- compatible: should be "fsl,imx-scu"
+- mboxes: List of phandle of MU mailbox. Should be one of LSIO
+	  MU0~M4 for imx8qxp and imx8qm. Users need to make
+	  sure not use the one which is conflict with other
+	  execution environments. e.g. ATF.
+
+Examples:
+--------
+lsio_mu1: mailbox@5d1c0000 {
+	compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-mu";
+	reg = <0x0 0x5d1c0000 0x0 0x10000>;
+	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+	#mbox-cells = <0>;
+};
+
+scu {
+	compatible = "fsl,imx-scu";
+	mboxes = <&lsio_mu1>;
+};
+
+
+i.MX SCU Client Device Node:
+=========================
+
+Client nodes are maintained as children of the relevant IMX-SCU device node.
+
+Example (imx8qxp):
+-------------
+scu {
+	compatible = "fsl,imx-scu";
+	...
+
+	clk: clk {
+		...
+	};
+
+	iomuxc: iomuxc {
+		...
+	};
+
+	imx8qx-pm {
+		...
+	}
+	...
+};
