Pratyush Yadav 8762b07c95 spi: dt-bindings: add schema listing peripheral-specific properties
Many SPI controllers need to add properties to peripheral devices. This
could be the delay in clock or data lines, etc. These properties are
controller specific but need to be defined in the peripheral node
because they are per-peripheral and there can be multiple peripherals
attached to a controller.

If these properties are not added to the peripheral binding, then the
dtbs check emits a warning. But these properties do not make much sense
in the peripheral binding because they are controller-specific and they
will just pollute every peripheral binding. So this binding is added to
collect all such properties from all such controllers. Peripheral
bindings should simply refer to this binding and they should be rid of
the warnings.

There are some limitations with this approach. Firstly, there is no way
to specify required properties. The schema contains properties for all
controllers and there is no way to know which controller is being used.
Secondly, there is no way to restrict additional properties. Since this
schema will be used with an allOf operator, additionalProperties needs
to be true. In addition, the peripheral schema will have to set
unevaluatedProperties: false.

Despite these limitations, this appears to be the best solution to this
problem that doesn't involve modifying existing tools or schema specs.

description: |
SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI controller device
and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. The system SPI
controller may be described for use in SPI master mode or in SPI slave mode,
but not for both at the same time.
properties:
$nodename:
pattern: "^spi(@.*|-[0-9a-f])*$"
"#address-cells":
enum: [0, 1]
"#size-cells":
const: 0
cs-gpios:
description: |
GPIOs used as chip selects.
If that property is used, the number of chip selects will be
increased automatically with max(cs-gpios, hardware chip selects).
So if, for example, the controller has 4 CS lines, and the
cs-gpios looks like this
cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>;
Then it should be configured so that num_chipselect = 4, with
the following mapping
cs0 : &gpio1 0 0
cs1 : native
cs2 : &gpio1 1 0
cs3 : &gpio1 2 0
The second flag of a gpio descriptor can be GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH (0)
or GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW(1). Legacy device trees often use 0.
There is a special rule set for combining the second flag of an
cs-gpio with the optional spi-cs-high flag for SPI slaves.
Each table entry defines how the CS pin is to be physically
driven (not considering potential gpio inversions by pinmux):
device node | cs-gpio | CS pin state active | Note
================+===============+=====================+=====
spi-cs-high | - | H |
- | - | L |
spi-cs-high | ACTIVE_HIGH | H |
- | ACTIVE_HIGH | L | 1
spi-cs-high | ACTIVE_LOW | H | 2
- | ACTIVE_LOW | L |
Notes:
1) Should print a warning about polarity inversion.
Here it would be wise to avoid and define the gpio as
ACTIVE_LOW.
2) Should print a warning about polarity inversion
because ACTIVE_LOW is overridden by spi-cs-high.
Should be generally avoided and be replaced by
spi-cs-high + ACTIVE_HIGH.
