This patch introduces the support for Keymile's kmp204x reference
design. This design is based on Freescale's P2040/P2041 SoC.

The peripherals used by this design are:
- SPI NOR Flash as bootloader medium
- NAND Flash with a ubi partition
- 2 PCIe busses (hosts 1 and 3)
- 3 FMAN Ethernet devices (FMAN1 DTSEC1/2/5)
- 4 Local Bus windows, with one dedicated to the QRIO reset/power mgmt
  FPGA
- 2 HW I2C busses
- last but not least, the mandatory serial port

The patch also adds a defconfig file for this reference design and a DTS
file for the kmcoge4 board which is the first one based on this
reference design.

To try to avoid code duplication, the support was added directly to the
corenet_generic.c file.

Don't put wildcards in compatible.

Well it's a wildcard in the sense that we support both the p2040 and the p2041,
but it's also the name of the plaftorm, similarly to names like '85xx' or 'tqm85xx'.

Names like 85xx are not allowed in device trees.

With "p204x", what would happen if a p2042 were introduced, that were
not compatible?

What would you suggest as a generic name for the architecture that supports both ?

quoted

Why isn't the compatible "keymile,kmcoge4", like the model?

Because kmcoge4 is the board that is based on the kmp204x architecture/design.
We expect other boards (kmcoge7 for instance) based on the same kmp204x design.

The top-level compatible isn't for the "architecture" or the "design".
It's for the board.  Surely there's something different about kmcoge7
versus kmcoge4 -- is it visible to software?

There should only be a few differences in the dts between the two boards.

Reading the ePAPR my understanding was that compatible is the "programming
model" and that's what I have named above design/architecture while model is the
exact model of the device in this case the exact board name.

quoted

You would prefer that I have the model and compatible stricly the same and add
any future board into the compatible boards[] from corenet_generic ?

That's how it's usually done.  Or, at least provide the board
architecture name as a secondary compatible after the board name.

quoted

If possible I would like to be able to see the boards that are based on a
similar design, that's what I wanted to achieve with this kmp204x name.

Is "kmp204x" an official name of the architecture, rather than a
generalization of "kmp2040" and "kmp2041"?  If there were a p2042, and
you made a board for it, is there any chance it would be called kmp204x
even if it were very different from the p2040/p2041 board?

It's the name we have picked up, but it's not official. We also use km83xx,
km82xx and it was derived from that.

If the hypothetical p2042 board was different it would then have another name.

+			zl30343@1 {

Node names are supposed to be generic.  Compatibles are supposed to be
specific.

That's a very specific device for which we only have a userspace driver and for
which we must use the generic kernel spidev driver.

The device tree describes the hardware, not what driver you want to use.

Plus, I don't see any driver that matches "gen,spidev" nor any binding
for it, and "gen" doesn't make sense as a vendor prefix.  The only
instance of that string I can find in the Linux tree is in mgcoge.dts.

Well it comes from mgcoge and that's why I have used this

It's for usage with the spidev driver (driver/spi/spidev.c). I agree that the
gen brings nothing. Would

spidev@1 {
	compatible = "spidev";

make more sense ?

It doesn't address any of the other comments.

Can you please explicitly tell me how I should build this node ? What other
comments ? Must I be more generic with the name ?

Something like :

spi@1 {
	compatible = "zarlink,30343", "spidev";

No nodes for those other chipselects?

Well, there are nodes, but they are internally developed FPGAs and the drivers
are not mainlined that's why I removed the nodes.

The device tree describes the hardware, not what drivers are currently
mainlined in Linux.

What do you want me to do: add the nodes for which there are no bindings ?

No, ideally you'd add bindings and nodes.  I'm not going to insist on it
if bindings aren't ready, but please don't leave things out only because
there's no driver.

Ideally we would add the bindings yes. But in the real world it's impossible for
a company like us with limited resources to port the drivers of our FPGAs and
their bindings to mainline. I will see what I can extract from the node and put
them back.
