Boards supported by the arch/powerpc architecture require device tree be

connected. The device tree can either be passed as a binary blob (as
described in Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt), or passed

===============
The core of this document is naming convention. The whole point of
defining this convention is to reduce or eliminate the number of
-special cases required to support a 52xx board. If all 52xx boards
-follow the same convention, then generic 52xx support code will work
+special cases required to support a 5200 board. If all 5200 boards
+follow the same convention, then generic 5200 support code will work
rather than coding special cases for each new board.
This section tries to capture the thought process behind why the naming
convention is what it is.
-1. Node names
--------------
+1. names
+---------
There is strong convention/requirements already established for children
of the root node. 'cpus' describes the processor cores, 'memory'
describes memory, and 'chosen' provides boot configuration. Other nodes
are added to describe devices attached to the processor local bus.
+
Following convention already established with other system-on-chip
-processors, MPC52xx boards must have an 'soc5200' node as a child of the
-root node.
+processors, 5200 device trees should use the name 'soc5200' for the
+parent node of on chip devices, and the root node should be its parent.
-The soc5200 node holds child nodes for all on chip devices. Child nodes
-are typically named after the configured function. ie. the FEC node is
-named 'ethernet', and a PSC in uart mode is named 'serial'.
+Child nodes are typically named after the configured function. ie.
+the FEC node is named 'ethernet', and a PSC in uart mode is named 'serial'.
2. device_type property
-----------------------
Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also
needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property. Compatible
is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic. For
-the mpc52xx, the required format for each compatible value is
-<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. At the minimum, the list shall contain two
-items; the first specifying the exact chip, and the second specifying
-mpc52xx for the chip.
-
-ie. ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc52xx-ethernet"
-
-The idea here is that most drivers will match to the most generic field
-in the compatible list (mpc52xx-*), but can also test the more specific
-field for enabling bug fixes or extra features.
+the mpc5200, the required format for each compatible value is
+<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. The OS should be able to match a device driver
+to the device based solely on the compatible value. If two drivers
+match on the compatible list; the 'most compatible' driver should be
+selected.
+
+The split between the MPC5200 and the MPC5200B leaves a bit of a
+conundrum. How should the compatible property be set up to provide
+maximum compatibility information; but still accurately describe the
+chip? For the MPC5200; the answer is easy. Most of the SoC devices
+originally appeared on the MPC5200. Since they didn't exist anywhere
+else; the 5200 compatible properties will contain only one item;
+"mpc5200-<device>".
+
+The 5200B is almost the same as the 5200, but not quite. It fixes
+silicon bugs and it adds a small number of enhancements. Most of the
+devices either provide exactly the same interface as on the 5200. A few
+devices have extra functions but still have a backwards compatible mode.
+To express this information as completely as possible, 5200B device trees
+should have two items in the compatible list;
+"mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device>". It is *strongly* recommended
+that 5200B device trees follow this convention (instead of only listing
+the base mpc5200 item).
+
+If another chip appear on the market with one of the mpc5200 SoC
+devices, then the compatible list should include mpc5200-<device>.
+
+ie. ethernet on mpc5200: compatible = "mpc5200-ethernet"
+ ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc5200-ethernet"
Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the
end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify
-"mpc52xx-psc-i2s", not "mpc52xx-i2s". This convention is chosen to
+"mpc5200-psc-i2s", not "mpc5200-i2s". This convention is chosen to
avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same
-function. For example, "mpc52xx-spi" and "mpc52xx-psc-spi" describe
+function. For example, "mpc5200-spi" and "mpc5200-psc-spi" describe
the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively.
If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the
compatible property can specify the more generic device type also.
-ie. mscan: compatible = "mpc5200-mscan\0mpc52xx-mscan\0fsl,mscan";
+ie. mscan: compatible = "mpc5200-mscan\0fsl,mscan";
At the time of writing, exact chip may be either 'mpc5200' or
'mpc5200b'.

3) The soc5200 node
-------------------
-This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc52xx based
+This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc5200 based
board will have this node, and as such there is a common naming
convention for SOC devices.
device_type string must be "soc"
ranges int should be <0 baseaddr baseaddr+10000>
reg int must be <baseaddr 10000>
+compatible string mpc5200: "mpc5200-soc"
+ mpc5200b: "mpc5200b-soc\0mpc5200-soc"
+system-frequency int Fsystem frequency; source of all
+ other clocks.
+bus-frequency int IPB bus frequency in HZ. Clock rate
+ used by most of the soc devices.
+#interrupt-cells int must be <3>.
Recommended properties:
name type description
---- ---- -----------
-compatible string should be "<chip>-soc\0mpc52xx-soc"
- ie. "mpc5200b-soc\0mpc52xx-soc"
-#interrupt-cells int must be <3>. If it is not defined
- here then it must be defined in every
- soc device node.
-bus-frequency int IPB bus frequency in HZ. Clock rate
- used by most of the soc devices.
- Defining it here avoids needing it
- added to every device node.
+model string Exact model of the chip;
+ ie: model="fsl,mpc5200"
+revision string Silicon revision of chip
+ ie: revision="M08A"
+
+The 'model' and 'revision' properties are *strongly* recommended. Having
+them presence acts as a bit of a safety net for working around as yet
+undiscovered bugs on one version of silicon. For example, device drivers
+can use the model and revision properties to decide if a bug fix should
+be turned on.
4) soc5200 child nodes
----------------------
Any on chip SOC devices available to Linux must appear as soc5200 child nodes.
-Note: in the tables below, '*' matches all <chip> values. ie.
-*-pic would translate to "mpc5200-pic\0mpc52xx-pic"
+Note: The tables below show the value for the mpc5200. A mpc5200b device
+tree should use the "mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device> form.

+---- ---- -----------
+cell-index int When multiple devices are present, is the
+ index of the device in the hardware (ie. There
+ are 6 PSC on the 5200 numbered PSC1 to PSC6)
+ PSC1 has 'cell-index = <0>'
+ PSC4 has 'cell-index = <3>'
+
+5) General Purpose Timer nodes (child of soc5200 node)
+On the mpc5200 and 5200b, GPT0 has a watchdog timer function. If the board
+design supports the internal wdt, then the device node for GPT0 should
+include the empty property 'fsl,has-wdt'.
+
+6) PSC nodes (child of soc5200 node)
+PSC nodes can define the optional 'port-number' property to force assignment
+order of serial ports. For example, PSC5 might be physically connected to
+the port labeled 'COM1' and PSC1 wired to 'COM1'. In this case, PSC5 would
+have a "port-number = <0>" property, and PSC1 would have "port-number = <1>".
+
+PSC in i2s mode: The mpc5200 and mpc5200b PSCs are not compatible when in
+i2s mode. An 'mpc5200b-psc-i2s' node cannot include 'mpc5200-psc-i2s' in the
+compatible field.
IV - Extra Notes
================
1. Interrupt mapping
--------------------
-The mpc52xx pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
+The mpc5200 pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups
interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP. Also, the
Bestcomm dma engine has it's own set of interrupt sources which are
cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a
fourth group, SDMA.
-The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc52xx pic consists
+The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc5200 pic consists
of three cells; <L1 L2 level>
L1 := [CRIT=0, MAIN=1, PERP=2, SDMA=3]
L2 := interrupt number; directly mapped from the value in the
"ICTL PerStat, MainStat, CritStat Encoded Register"
level := [LEVEL_HIGH=0, EDGE_RISING=1, EDGE_FALLING=2, LEVEL_LOW=3]
+
+2. Shared registers
+-------------------
+Some SoC devices share registers between them. ie. the i2c devices use
+a single clock control register, and almost all device are affected by
+the port_config register. Devices which need to manipulate shared regs
+should look to the parent SoC node. The soc node is responsible
+for arbitrating all shared register access.
