Arnd Bergmann 787b0c1f8e serial: pl011: use generic DMA slave configuration if possible
With the new OF DMA binding, it is possible to completely avoid the
need for platform_data for configuring a DMA channel. In cases where the
platform has already been converted, calling dma_request_slave_channel
should get all the necessary information from the device tree.

This also adds a binding document specific to the pl011 controller,
and extends the generic primecell binding to mention "dmas" and other
common properties.

Like the patch that converts the dw_dma controller, this is completely
untested and is looking for someone to try it out.

* ARM Primecell Peripherals
ARM, Ltd. Primecell peripherals have a standard id register that can be used to
identify the peripheral type, vendor, and revision. This value can be used for
driver matching.
Required properties:
- compatible : should be a specific name for the peripheral and
"arm,primecell". The specific name will match the ARM
engineering name for the logic block in the form: "arm,pl???"
Optional properties:
- arm,primecell-periphid : Value to override the h/w value with
- clocks : From common clock binding. First clock is phandle to clock for apb
pclk. Additional clocks are optional and specific to those peripherals.
- clock-names : From common clock binding. Shall be "apb_pclk" for first clock.
- dmas : From common DMA binding. If present, refers to one or more dma channels.
- dma-names : From common DMA binding, needs to match the 'dmas' property.
Devices with exactly one receive and transmit channel shall name
these "rx" and "tx", respectively.
- pinctrl-<n> : Pinctrl states as described in bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt
- pinctrl-names : Names corresponding to the numbered pinctrl states
- interrupts : one or more interrupt specifiers
- interrupt-names : names corresponding to the interrupts properties
Example:
serial@fff36000 {
compatible = "arm,pl011", "arm,primecell";
arm,primecell-periphid = <0x00341011>;
clocks = <&pclk>;
clock-names = "apb_pclk";
dmas = <&dma-controller 4>, <&dma-controller 5>;
dma-names = "rx", "tx";
pinctrl-0 = <&uart0_default_mux>, <&uart0_default_mode>;
pinctrl-1 = <&uart0_sleep_mode>;
pinctrl-names = "default","sleep";
interrupts = <0 11 0x4>;
};
