[PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: Add Baikal-T1 AXI-bus EHB dts bindings file

[PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: Add Baikal-T1 AXI-bus EHB dts bindings file

[Sergey.Semin]

From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>

This is a specific block embedded into the Baikal-T1 SoC, which is
dedicated to detect AXI-bus protocol errors. So the dts node just
needs to have the "be,bt1-axi-ehb" compatible string, MMIO registers
and interrupts properties declared.

[PATCH 2/6] dt-bindings: Add Baikal-T1 APB-bus EHB dts bindings file

[Sergey.Semin]

From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>

This is a specific block embedded into the Baikal-T1 SoC, which is
dedicated to detect APB-bus protocol errors and tune the peripheral
access timeout. So the dts bindings implies that corresponding dts
node would be equipped with "be,bt1-apb-ehb" compatible string, MMIO
region of registers space and of space with no device mapped,
interrupts property and with an APB-reference clock handler.

[PATCH 3/6] dt-bindings: Add Baikal-T1 L2-cache Control Block dts bindings file

[Sergey.Semin]

From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>

There is a single register provided by the SoC system controller,
which can be used to tune the L2-cache up. It only provides a way
to change the L2-RAM access latencies. So aside from the MMIO region
with that setting and "be,bt1-l2-ctl" compatible string the device
node can be optionally equipped with the properties of Tag/Data/WS
latencies.

Why is this conditional? Different h/w?

These should be at the same level as 'default' or default moved here (I 
prefer the former). IOW, only $ref has to be under 'allOf'.

Seeing the config register has got a few other CPU parameters to tune
I meant to have both syscon and syscon-less compatible nodes supported
For the same reason there is "allOf" with "syscon.yaml" reference above.

This P5600 CM2 L2-Cach RAM setting is a part of the Baikal-T1 System
Control Module, in particular the register lives someplace amongst Clock
Control Unit and System-specific settings. Seeing the clock and
system-specific parameters are almost always redistributed to a
dedicated registers set, in my first System Control Module DT node design
I was going to split the functionality up into the dedicated sub-nodes.
If there are some mixed parameters declared in the corresponding
registers set, I marked these nodes with additional "syscon". I
thoroughly described that design in RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/22/393
sent To: you.

Seeing there are others indirectly related to the System Controller DT node
design issues I've been addressed in the framework of other patchsets, I
also suggested an alternative design in that RFC text. So should you have
any comments, please send your response right there. I am currently in a bit
of frustration, since noone has sent any comments to the RFC, which stops me
from moving on with fixing the patchsets issues. Though I am pretty sure,
that the alternative design would be better accepted by you and community,
so if no comments pop up in the RFC soon, I'll start implementing it.
The alternative solution "/* System Controller DT Nodes II */" in the
RFC includes having a common "syscon"-compatible node representing the
Baikal-T1 System Controller, while sub-nodes like Clocks Control Units and this
L2-cache RAM control block would import a regmap from that "syscon"
(using a standard syscon_node_to_regmap()-like method). This will solve a
multiple issues raised in others patchsets and the problem you noted here.

Please also note, that following Arnd Bergmann suggestion, I'll move
this driver to the drivers/memory subsystem. So the binding file will be
also moved to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers.
Similarly the ehb-drivers and bindings will be moved to the drivers/bus
and Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/ directories respectively.

Ok.

Ok. I'll do this to the next example case as well.
