[PATCHv6 0/2] add DT endianness binding support for regmap

[Xiubo Li]

Changes in V6:
- there is some mistake for V5 patch series, resend it.

Changes in V5:
- remove the register's dt endianness support for it will always be BE
  for now.
- only support the register values buffers dt endianness support.

[PATCHv6 1/2] regmap: add DT endianness binding support.

[Xiubo Li]

For many drivers which will support rich endianness of Devices
need define DT properties by itself with the binding support.

The endianness using regmap:
Index      Device     Properties if needs bytes-swap,
                      or just ignore it
-------------------------------------------------------------
1          BE         'big-endian'
2          LE         'little-endian'

The properties include all the register values and the buffers.
And these properties are very usful for the MMIO devices:

Such as: a memory-mapped device, on one SoC is in BE mode, while
in another SoC will be in LE mode, and the CPU will always in LE
mode.

For the first case, we must use cpu_to_be32/be32_to_cpu for
32-bit registers accessing, so the 'big-endian' property is needed.

For the second case, we can just ignore the bytes-swap
functions like cpu_to_le32/le32_to_cpu, so the 'little-endian'
property could be abscent.

And vice versa...

Device-Tree binding for device endianness
Index     Device     Endianness properties
---------------------------------------------------
1         BE         'big-endian'
2         LE         'little-endian'

For one device driver, which will run in different scenarios above
on different SoCs using the devicetree, we need one way to simplify

It would be more readable if its like this:
Required properties:
- {big,little}-endian:	These are boolean properties, if absent meaning
			that the CPU and the Device are in the same
			endianness mode, these propperties are for
			values and all the buffers only.

Sorry for jumping in so late. I think this binding documentation needs
to be moved somewhere else. regmap is a Linux kernel specific
implementation detail and therefore has no place in device tree binding
descriptions. Furthermore the endianness properties described herein do
apply to drivers that don't use regmap.

Perhaps we need some top-level file that describes generic properties
such as this?

Yes, I do agree.
And there are many devices that have the endian issue without using the
Regmap in our LS* SoCs.

And I also think one generic binding description of this will be much
better.

Where should we place it? In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/, or...?

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/standard-properties.txt perhaps?
