Re: [[LINUX PATCH v10] 1/4] Devicetree: Add pl353 smc controller devicetree binding information

[Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com>]

Hi Naga,

Subject prefix should be "dt-bindings: memory: " not "Devicetree: ".

I had a look at the PL353 TRM, and the block diagram looks very similar
to the atmel EBI/SMC one. AHB/AXI memory ranges that are used to
interact with the memories are assigned CS ids, which can then be used
to configure the timings (and other kind of stuff). I think you should
have #address-cells = <2>, the first cell encoding the CS id, and the
second one, the memory offset within the reserved range for this CS id.
See the atmel,ebi binding [1].

Boris
