Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] Add device tree support for on-chip SRAM
Date: Fri,  7 Sep 2012 14:43:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1347021828-23034-1-git-send-email-p.zabel@pengutronix.de> (raw)

These patches add support to configure on-chip SRAM via device-tree
node and to obtain the resulting genalloc pool from a phandle pointing
at the node.
This allows drivers to allocate SRAM with the genalloc API without
hard-coding the genalloc pool address.

The on-chip SRAM on i.MX53 and i.MX6q is registered via device tree and
changed to use the simple generic SRAM driver:

		ocram: ocram@00900000 {
			compatible = "fsl,imx-ocram", "sram";
			reg = <0x00900000 0x3f000>;
 		};

A driver that needs to allocate SRAM buffers, like the video processing
unit on i.MX53, can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle in the
device tree using of_get_named_gen_pool(node, "iram", 0) from patch 1:

		vpu@63ff4000 {
			/* ... */
			iram = <&ocram>;
 		};

Changes since v3:
 - Added devicetree binding documentation
 - Register platform driver early with postcore_initcall
 - Added optional SRAM clock support.

regards
Philipp
