Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/fsl: add device tree binding for QE firmware
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:42:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1269380552-10418-1-git-send-email-timur@freescale.com> (raw)

Define a binding for embedding a QE firmware blob into the device tree.  Also
define a new property for the QE node that links to a firmware node.

+* QE Firmware Node
+
+This node defines a firmware binary that is embedded in the device tree, for
+the purpose of passing the firmware from bootloader to the kernel, or from
+the hypervisor to the guest.
+
+The firmware node itself contains the firmware binary contents, a compatible
+property, and any firmware-specific properties.  The node itself can be located
+anywhere, but should probably be placed at the top level.  The QE node
+that needs the firmware should define a property that links to the firmware
+node's phandle.
+
+This node is typically not defined in the DTS.  Instead, the boot loader
+normally creates the node from scratch, using a firmware binary that is already
+located in non-volatile storage or transferred from a tftp server.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible
+      Usage: required
+      Value type: <string>
+      Definition: A standard property.  Specify a string that indicates what
+          kind of firmware it is.  For QE, this should be "fsl,qe-firmware".
+
+   - fsl,firmware
+      Usage: required
+      Value type: <prop-encoded-array>, encoded as an array of bytes
+      Definition: A standard property.  This property contains the firmware
+          binary "blob".
+
+Example:
+	qe@e0080000 {
+		compatible = "fsl,qe";
+		fsl,firmware-phandle = <&qe_firmware>;
+		...
+	}
+
+	qe_firmware:qe-firmware {
+		compatible = "fsl,qe-firmware";
+		fsl,firmware = <0x70 0xcd 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x46 0x45 0x63 ...>
