Qualcomm ramoops minidump logger provide a means of storing
the ramoops data to some dynamically reserved memory instead
of traditionally implemented ramoops where the region should
be statically fixed ram region. Its device tree binding
would be exactly same as ramoops device tree binding and is
going to contain traditional ramoops frontend data and this
content will be collected via Qualcomm minidump infrastructure
provided from the boot firmware.

Most of the properties you added here are already documented at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/ramoops.yaml 

Can't we just reference them here? would something like work?

max-reason:
  $ref: "../../reserved-memory/ramoops.yaml#/properties/max-reason

> +unevaluatedProperties: false

will there be any additional properties be added dynamically? if not,
should not we use "additionalProperties: false" here?

Thanks,

The big difference is if firmware is not deciding where this log
lives, then it doesn't need to be in DT. How does anything except the
kernel that allocates the log find the logs?

I'm pretty sure I already said all this before.

Why would you define deprecated properties in a *new* binding?

Yes, you are correct, firmware is not deciding where the logs lives
instead here, Kernel has reserved the region where the ramoops region
lives and later with the minidump registration where, physical
address/size/virtual address(for parsing) are passed and that is how
firmware is able to know and dump those region before triggering system
reset.

A part of this registration code you can find in 11/21

> I'm pretty sure I already said all this before.

Yes, you said this before but that's the reason i came up with vendor
ramoops instead of changing traditional ramoops binding.

Since, it is exact copy of ramoops binding, that's the reason of mention.

Will remove it.

That is certainly a problem. Don't define the same property more than
once. Not yet checked and enforced by the tools, but it will be.

Can work, but no. Common properties need to go into a schema of common
properties which the device specific schemas reference.

I don't know what you mean by dynamically, but that's not the criteria
for which to use.

Thanks for the clarification. We need to define the common properties
and make it available under /schemas/<>.yaml and add a reference to it
in these bindings. Is my understanding correct?

ok, I was wrong in saying dynamically. I should say "are there any other
properties that will be included that are not documented here".

is below my understanding correct?

additionalProperties needs to be set to false if at all this binding
defines all the possible properties (including child nodes) and not
referring to any other schemas.

If that is not the case and this binding references to other schemas,
then unevaluatedProperties could be used since additionalProperties
can't support combining schemas.

Your explanation does not justify storing all this in DT. Kernel can
allocate any memory it wishes, store there logs and pass the address to
the firmware. That's it, no need for DT.

That's unexpected conclusion. Adding more bindings is not the answer to
comment that it should not be in the DTS in the first place.

If you go through the driver, you will know that what it does, is
just create platform device for actual ramoops driver to probe and to
provide this it needs exact set of parameters of input what original 
ramoops DT provides, we need to keep it in DT as maintaining this in
driver will not scale well with different size/parameter size
requirement for different targets.

We talk about bindings and I should not be forced to look at the
driver to be able to understand them. Bindings should stand on their
own.

Not really justification for Devicetree anyway. Whatever your driver
is doing, is driver's business, not bindings.

Really? Why? I don't see a problem in scaling. At all.

I do not see any requirement for us there. Forcing me to figure out
how to add non-hardware property to DT is not the way to convince
reviewers. But if you insist - we have ABI for this, called sysfs. If
it is debugging feature, then debugfs.

Why can't ramoops binding have one more feature where it can add a flag 
*dynamic* to indicate the regions are dynamic and it is for platforms
where there is another entity 'minidump' who is interested in these
regions.

I had attempted it here,

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1683133352-10046-10-git-send-email-quic_mojha@quicinc.com/

but got comments related to hard coding and some in favor of having
the same set of properties what ramoops has/provides

ramoops already support module params and a way to pass these parameters
from bootargs but it also need to know the hard-codes addresses, so, 
doing something in sysfs will be again duplication with ramoops driver..

If this can be accommodated under ramoops, this will be very small 
change, like this

Because we do not define dynamic stuff in Devicetree. Dynamic means
defined by SW or runtime configurable. It is against the entire idea of
Devicetree which is for non-discoverable hardware.

Then you were tricked. I don't get why someone else suggests that
non-hardware property should be part of Devicetree, but anyway it's the
call of Devicetree binding maintainers, not someone else. DT is not
dumping ground for all the system configuration variables.

Why do you need hard-coded addresses?

That's also funny patch - missing bindings updated, missing CC DT
maintainers.

Sorry for that, I assumed the interface should be as close as possible 
to pstore, but apparently that's not the case. Why does it have to be 
different from it? It provides the same functionality and is 
configurable even if it doesn't explicitly configure non discoverable 
hardware properties.

Assuming we make the driver picks the values, how would it do that?  
Hardcoding a configuration could lead to a few problems, such as the 
allocated region being smaller than the driver defaults or driver 
defaults not fully utilizing the allocated region, possibly wasting more 
memory than it'll ever use. On top of that what happens if we want to 
configure it differently than the hardcoded default values? Via cmdline 
options? For example in the previous version it allocated the whole 
region for the console alone, while other entries, such as pmsg that 
could be useful on devices using minidump to store Android logs, was 
zero-sized.

+
+description: |
+  Qualcomm ramoops minidump logger provide a means of storing the ramoops
+  data to some dynamically reserved memory instead of traditionally
+  implemented ramoops where the region should be statically fixed ram
+  region. Because of its similarity with ramoops it will also have same
+  set of property what ramoops have it in its schema and is going to
+  contain traditional ramoops frontend data and this region will be
+  collected via Qualcomm minidump infrastructure provided from the
+  boot firmware.
