So needs its own schema. Some description around what you think would typically be in these cells would be good. Rob

This adds a new provider/consumer property pair to the generic SPI bindings for use with peripherals connected to controllers that support offloading. Here, offloading means that the controller has the ability to perform SPI transactions without any CPU intervention in some shape or form. The spi-offloads property will be used to assign controller offload resources to each peripheral that needs them. What these resources are will be defined by each specific controller binding by specifying the value of the #spi-offload-cells property. SPI peripherals that use multiple offload instances at the same time for different functions can describe the functions using the spi-offload-names property, for example, for a SPI flash memory, this might be "read", "erase" and "write" functions. Signed-off-by: David Lechner <dlechner@baylibre.com> --- v3 changes: * Added #spi-offload-cells property to the controller binding. * Changed spi-offloads to phandle-array. * Added spi-offload-names property. v2 changes: In v1, instead of generic SPI bindings, there were only controller- specific bindings, so this is a new patch. --- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-controller.yaml | 5 +++++ .../devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-peripheral-props.yaml | 11 +++++++++++ 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+)
