Documentation: dt: add common bindings for hwspinlock
This patch adds the generic common bindings used to represent a hwlock device and use/request locks in a device-tree build. Each hwspinlock provider should have the '#hwlock-cells' property, which represents the number of cells to be used for representing a specific hwspinlock. Client users shall use the property 'hwlocks' for requesting specific lock(s). Note that the document is named hwlock.txt deliberately to keep it a bit more generic.

Generic hwlock bindings
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Generic bindings that are common to all the hwlock platform specific driver
|
||||
implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
Please also look through the individual platform specific hwlock binding
|
||||
documentations for identifying any additional properties specific to that
|
||||
platform.
|
||||
|
||||
hwlock providers:
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Required properties:
|
||||
- #hwlock-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to represent a
|
||||
specific lock.
|
||||
|
||||
hwlock users:
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Consumers that require specific hwlock(s) should specify them using the
|
||||
property "hwlocks", and an optional "hwlock-names" property.
|
||||
|
||||
Required properties:
|
||||
- hwlocks: List of phandle to a hwlock provider node and an
|
||||
associated hwlock args specifier as indicated by
|
||||
#hwlock-cells. The list can have just a single hwlock
|
||||
or multiple hwlocks, with each hwlock represented by
|
||||
a phandle and a corresponding args specifier.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional properties:
|
||||
- hwlock-names: List of hwlock name strings defined in the same order
|
||||
as the hwlocks, with one name per hwlock. Consumers can
|
||||
use the hwlock-names to match and get a specific hwlock.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Example of a node using a single specific hwlock:
|
||||
|
||||
The following example has a node requesting a hwlock in the bank defined by
|
||||
the node hwlock1. hwlock1 is a hwlock provider with an argument specifier
|
||||
of length 1.
|
||||
|
||||
node {
|
||||
...
|
||||
hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>;
|
||||
...
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
2. Example of a node using multiple specific hwlocks:
|
||||
|
||||
The following example has a node requesting two hwlocks, a hwlock within
|
||||
the hwlock device node 'hwlock1' with #hwlock-cells value of 1, and another
|
||||
hwlock within the hwlock device node 'hwlock2' with #hwlock-cells value of 2.
|
||||
|
||||
node {
|
||||
...
|
||||
hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>, <&hwlock2 0 3>;
|
||||
...
|
||||
};
