The device tree +describes what devices are present on the board and how they are +connected. The device tree can either be passed as a binary blob (as +described in Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt), or passed +by Open Firmare (IEEE 1275) compatible firmware using an OF compatible +client interface API. + +This document specifies the requirements on the device-tree for mpc52xx +based boards. These requirements are above and beyond the details +specified in either the OpenFirmware spec or booting-without-of.txt + +All new mpc52xx-based boards are expected to match this document. In +cases where this document is not sufficient to support a new board port, +this document should be updated as part of adding the new board support. + +II - Philosophy +=============== +The core of this document is naming convention. The whole point of +defining this convention is to reduce or eliminate the number of +special cases required to support a 52xx board. If all 52xx boards +follow the same convention, then generic 52xx support code will work +rather than coding special cases for each new board. + +This section tries to capture the thought process behind why the naming +convention is what it is. + +1. Node names +------------- +There is strong convention/requirements already established for children +of the root node. 'cpus' describes the processor cores, 'memory' +describes memory, and 'chosen' provides boot configuration. Other nodes +are added to describe devices attached to the processor local bus. +Following convention already established with other system-on-chip +processors, MPC52xx boards must have an 'soc5200' node as a child of the +root node. + +The soc5200 node holds child nodes for all on chip devices. Child nodes +are typically named after the configured function. ie. the FEC node is +named 'ethernet', and a PSC in uart mode is named 'serial'. + +2. device_type property +----------------------- +similar to the node name convention above; the device_type reflects the +configured function of a device. ie. 'serial' for a uart and 'spi' for +an spi controller. However, while node names *should* reflect the +configured function, device_type *must* match the configured function +exactly. + +3. compatible property +---------------------- +Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also +needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property. Compatible +is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic. For +the mpc52xx, the required format for each compatible value is +<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. At the minimum, the list shall contain two +items; the first specifying the exact chip, and the second specifying +mpc52xx for the chip. + +ie. ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc52xx-ethernet" + +The idea here is that most drivers will match to the most generic field +in the compatible list (mpc52xx-*), but can also test the more specific +field for enabling bug fixes or extra features. + +Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the +end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify +"mpc52xx-psc-i2s", not "mpc52xx-i2s". This convention is chosen to +avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same +function. For example, "mpc52xx-spi" and "mpc52xx-psc-spi" describe +the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively. + +If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the +compatible property can specify the more generic device type also. + +ie. mscan: compatible = "mpc5200-mscan\0mpc52xx-mscan\0fsl,mscan"; + +At the time of writing, exact chip may be either 'mpc5200' or +'mpc5200b'. + +Device drivers should always try to match as generically as possible. + +III - Structure +=============== +The device tree for an mpc52xx board follows the structure defined in +booting-without-of.txt with the following additional notes: + +0) the root node +---------------- +Typical root description node; see booting-without-of + +1) The cpus node +---------------- +The cpus node follows the basic layout described in booting-without-of. +The bus-frequency property holds the XLB bus frequency +The clock-frequency property holds the core frequency + +2) The memory node +------------------ +Typical memory description node; see booting-without-of. + +3) The soc5200 node +------------------- +This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc52xx based +board will have this node, and as such there is a common naming +convention for SOC devices. + +Required properties: +name type description +---- ---- ----------- +device_type string must be "soc" +ranges int should be <0 baseaddr baseaddr+10000> +reg int must be <baseaddr 10000> + +Recommended properties: +name type description +---- ---- ----------- +compatible string should be "<chip>-soc\0mpc52xx-soc" + ie.

Interrupt mapping +-------------------- +The mpc52xx pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels.
