Should we make it then a common interconnect-parent property? Perhaps allowing also a second cell after the phandle to indicate the target interconnect id? Currently the links are only being defined in drivers, I'm not sure if we want to go that direction and extend the interconnect binding so it is possible to define any link between the nodes. With the samsung,interconnect-parent property there was an assumption that each DT node ("samsung,exynos-bus" compatible) corresponds to an interconnect provider with single interconnect node. The source and destination node id for the link were unspecified and dynamically allocated by the driver. I guess we don't want a property that would contain pairs of the interconnect node specifiers (phandle + interconnect id) to define all links, since usually additional data is required per each link. Then perhaps we could make the new interconnect-parent property applicable only to DT nodes with #interconnect-cells == 0, i.e. valid only in such DT nodes? >> +- #interconnect-cells: should be 0. >> +- bus-width: the interconnect bus width in bits, default value is 8 when this >> + property is missing. > > Your bus is 8-bits or 4-bits as the example? Bus width might not be a good term for the intended purpose of that property. It has been added to specify minimum bus clock rate required for given data throughput. After checking the documentation again the AXI bus width is actually 128 bits everywhere for instance. The example defines data path leftbus <- dmc <- (memory) and for leftbus we have bus-width=<8> and for dmc bus-width=<4>. Perhaps it's better to use a vendor specific property instead, e.g. samsung, data-clock-ratio?

Actually we could do without any new property if we used existing interconnect consumers binding to specify linking between the provider nodes. I think those exynos-bus nodes could well be considered both the interconnect providers and consumers. The example would then be something along the lines (yes, I know the bus node naming needs to be fixed): soc { bus_dmc: bus_dmc { compatible = "samsung,exynos-bus"; /* ... */ samsung,data-clock-ratio = <4>; #interconnect-cells = <0>; }; bus_leftbus: bus_leftbus { compatible = "samsung,exynos-bus"; /* ... */ interconnects = <&bus_leftbus &bus_dmc>; #interconnect-cells = <0>; }; bus_display: bus_display { compatible = "samsung,exynos-bus"; /* ... */ interconnects = <&bus_display &bus_leftbus>; #interconnect-cells = <0>; }; &mixer { compatible = "samsung,exynos4212-mixer"; interconnects = <&bus_display &bus_dmc>; /* ... */ }; }; What do you think, Georgi, Rob?

I can't understand the above example with bus_display being it's own consumer. This seems strange to me. Could you please clarify it? Otherwise the interconnect consumer DT bindings are already well established and i don't see anything preventing a node to be both consumer and provider. So this should be okay in general. Thanks, Georgi

Thanks for clarifying! Currently the "interconnects" property is defined as a pair of initiator and target nodes. You can keep it also as interconnects = <&bus_display &bus_dmc>, but you will need to figure out during probe that there is another node in the middle and defer. I assume that if a provider is also an interconnect consumer, we will link it to whatever nodes are specified in the "interconnects" property? > My intention here was to describe the 'bus_display -> bus_leftbus' part > of data path 'bus_display -> bus_leftbus -> bus_dmc', bus_display is > really a consumer of 'bus_leftbus -> bus_dmc' path. > > I'm not sure if it is allowed to specify only single phandle (and > interconnect provider specifier) in the interconnect property, that would > be needed for the bus_leftbus node to define bus_dmc as the interconnect > destination port.

I hope that we will be able to describe simpler topologies in DT in the future, but we don't have such support in the framework yet.

I suppose for any new Exynos SoCs with more complex interconnects exposed for software control an approach with topology definition as platform data would also be used. The generic interconnect driver would likely only be used on existing platforms where the interconnects are somewhat abstracted by the devfreq.
