* docs: arm: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an architecture book. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

* sh: add device tree support and generic board using device treeRich Felker2016-03-171-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new pseudo-board, within the existing SH boards/machine-vectors framework, which does not represent any actual hardware but instead requires all hardware to be described by the device tree blob provided by the boot loader. Changes made are thus non-invasive and do not risk breaking support for legacy boards. New hardware, including the open-hardware J2 and associated SoC devices, will use device free from the outset. Legacy SH boards can transition to device tree once all their hardware has device tree bindings, driver support for device tree, and a dts file for the board. It is intented that, once all boards are supported in the new framework, the existing machine-vectors framework should be removed and the new device tree setup code integrated directly.

* ARM: 8354/1: Documentation: devicetree: root node serial-number property ↵Paul Kocialkowski2015-05-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | documentation Open firmware is already using the serial-number property for passing the device's serial number from the bootloader to the kernel. In addition, lshw already has support for scanning this property. The serial number is a string that somewhat represents the device's serial number. It might come from some form of storage (e.g. an eeprom) and be programmed at factory-time by the manufacturer or come from identification bits available in e.g. the SoC (note that the soc_id property in the SoC bus should hold a full account of those bits). The serial number is taken as-is from the bootloader, so it is up to the bootloader to define where the serial number comes from and what length it should be. Some use cases for the serial number require it to have a maximum length (e.g. for USB serial number) and some other cases imply more restrictions on what the serial number should look like (e.g. in Android, the ro.serialno property is usually a 16-bytes (plus one null byte) representation of a 64 bit number).

* dt/documentation: add specification of dma bus informationSantosh Shilimkar2014-09-261-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently we introduced the generic device tree infrastructure for couple of DMA bus parameter, dma-ranges and dma-coherent. Update the documentation so that its useful for future users. The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses. The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices supported coherent DMA operations.

* dt/bindings: Remove all references to device_type "ethernet-phy"Grant Likely2014-01-161-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The device_type property is deprecated for the flattened device tree and the value "ethernet-phy" has never been defined as having a useful meaning. Neither the kernel nor u-boot depend on it. It should never have appeared in PHY bindings. This patch removes all references to "ethernet-phy" as a device_type value from the documentation and the .dts files. This patch was generated mechanically with the following command and then verified by looking at the diff. sed -i '/"ethernet-phy"/d' `git grep -l '"ethernet-phy"'` Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org> Acked-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@st.com> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Ian Campbell <ijc+devicetree@hellion.org.uk> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@codeaurora.org> Cc: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* x86: Add device tree supportSebastian Andrzej Siewior2011-02-231-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at least boot protocol 2.09. Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the code compile. The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded otherwise. This includes things like - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus? - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC? - where could my hpet be?
