From: Chris Bostic <cbostic@us.ibm.com>

Define the device tree bindings for the GPIO master type.

Signed-off-by: Chris Bostic <cbostic@us.ibm.com>

---

V2 - Break out this documentation update from the code implementing
     The GPIO master function.

   - Move the documentation to an earlier patch than the code
     implementing the function.

   - Document all 'compatible' strings used in the series.

   - Write binding document in terms of hardware, not software.

   - Elaborate on what a GPIO based FSI master is versus a non
     GPIO based master.

   - Give a more detailed description of what each pin in the GPIO
     FSI master is to be used for.

   - Re-order compatible strings in example so that most specific
     comes first.

   - Indicate the proper order each pin should be initialized.

   - Fix an unmatched '>' bracket in the example for binding.

   - Bracket each element of the example list items individually.

Generally, we don't have a vendor prefix for GPIO based implementations.

This and GPIO binding should be in 2 docs.

Combine these descriptions and the property names, grouped as below.

From the description, these should be mutually exclusive.

Hi Chris,

From this:

>> +with dedicated input/output pins required for its function (i.e.

I agree with Rob here. The intention is for "ibm,fsi-master" to be an
abstract master -- simply indicating that this node describes a master,
with no specific implementation, and "ibm,fsi-master-gpio" to be a
GPIO-based implementation. A hardware-based FSI master would have a
different compatible value, based on the hardware.

We should remove references to implementations in the "The standard FSI
master node" section, because this is independent of implementation.

Do we support multiple-link masters? This example implies a 2-link
master.

Cheers,


Jeremy

Hi,

OK will make that change for version 4.

>>> +    clk-gpios = <&gpio 0>, <&gpio 6>;
>>> +    data-gpios = <&gpio 1>, <&gpio 7>;
>>> +    enable-gpios = <&gpio 2>, <&gpio 8>;

Should we start with a single link in this case?  To start off with
only one link is supported by the master.

Thanks

Hi Rob

Will make the change in the next revision (v4).

+Device-tree bindings for FSI master implemented with GPIO

+Typically a FSI master is defined in hardware with output control
+lines designated for Enable, Data, Clock, etc..  In the case of
+a 'GPIO FSI master', however, it may be the case that there is no
+such master defined in hardware and must be implemented in standard
