+Custom parallel bus on ICP DAS LP-8x4x industrial computers
+
+See Documentation/misc-devices/lp8x4x_bus.txt for details.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "icpdas,backplane-lp8x4x"
+
+- reg: physical base address of the slot count register and the length
+       of the memory mapped region.
+
+Example:
+
+	backplane {
+		compatible = "icpdas,backplane-lp8x4x";
+		reg = <0x17009046 0x2>;
+	};

+http://www.icpdas.com/root/product/solutions/pac/linpac/lp-8x4x_hardware.html
+
+LP-8x4x is an ARM-based industrial computer with a custom parallel bus to
+connect expansion modules with digital input/output, analog input/output,
+serial, CAN and other types of ports.
+
+The bus is implemented by a FPGA.
