[PATCH v29 1/4] dt-bindings: i2c: Split AST2600 binding into a new YAML

Ryan Chen
2026-04-15T05:14:07Z

The AST2600 I2C controller introduces a completely new register layout
with separate controller and target register blocks, unlike the mixed
register layout used by AST2400/AST2500.

Move AST2600 I2C binding from aspeed,i2c.yaml to a dedicated
aspeed,ast2600-i2c.yaml schema.

Besides the split, this also adjusts for AST2600-specific requirements.
- require two reg regions (controller register block + buffer block)
- use clock-frequency for bus speed description
- interrupts are required on AST2600
- use correct DTS coding style in example

No compatible strings are changed.

Changes in v26:
- commit message: include details of changes from original binding
- fix example property ordering to follow DTS coding style
- use consistent "AST2600" naming
