[RESEND PATCH v2] dt/documentation: add specification of dma bus information

[Grygorii Strashko]

From: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@ti.com>

Recently we introduced the generic device tree infrastructure
for couple of DMA bus parameter, dma-ranges and dma-coherent.
Update the documentation so that its useful for future users.

The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the
configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses.

The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices
supported coherent DMA operations.

Hi Rob,

Seems, this patch has not been merged accidentally, so
I've rebased it on top of Linux 3.17-rc5.

+IX - Specifying dma bus information
+
+Some devices may have DMA memory range shifted relatively to the beginning of
+RAM, or even placed outside of kernel RAM. For example, the Keystone 2 SoC
+worked in LPAE mode with 4G memory has:
+- RAM range: [0x8 0000 0000, 0x8 FFFF FFFF]
+- DMA range: [  0x8000 0000,   0xFFFF FFFF]
+and DMA range is aliased into first 2G of RAM in HW.
+
+In such cases, DMA addresses translation should be performed between CPU phys
+and DMA addresses. The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used
+for describing the configuration of such system in DT.
+
+In addition, each DMA master device on the DMA bus may or may not support
+coherent DMA operations. The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used
+for identifying devices supported coherent DMA operations in DT.
+
+* DMA Bus master
+Optional property:
+- dma-ranges: <prop-encoded-array> encoded as arbitrary number of triplets of
+	(child-bus-address, parent-bus-address, length). Each triplet specified
+	describes a contiguous DMA address range.
+	The dma-ranges property is used to describe the direct memory access (DMA)
+	structure of a memory-mapped bus whose device tree parent can be accessed
+	from DMA operations originating from the bus. It provides a means of
+	defining a mapping or translation between the physical address space of
+	the bus and the physical address space of the parent of the bus.
+	(for more information see ePAPR specification)
+
+* DMA Bus child
+Optional property:
+- dma-ranges: <empty> value. if present - It means that DMA addresses
+	translation has to be enabled for this device.
+- dma-coherent: Present if dma operations are coherent
+
+Example:
+soc {
+		compatible = "ti,keystone","simple-bus";
+		ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xc0000000>;
+		dma-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8 0x00000000 0x80000000>;
+
+		[...]
+
+		usb: usb@2680000 {
+			compatible = "ti,keystone-dwc3";
+
+			[...]
+			dma-coherent;
+		};
+};
