+* Nios II Processor Binding
+
+This binding specifies what properties available in the device tree
+representation of a Nios II Processor Core.
+
+Users can use sopc2dts tool for generating device tree sources (dts) from a
+Qsys system. See more detail in: http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/Sopc2dts
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Compatible property value should be "altr,nios2-1.0".
+- reg: Contains CPU index.
+- interrupt-controller: Specifies that the node is an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt source, should be 1.
+- clock-frequency: Contains the clock frequency for CPU, in Hz.
+- dcache-line-size: Contains data cache line size.
+- icache-line-size: Contains instruction line size.
+- dcache-size: Contains data cache size.
+- icache-size: Contains instruction cache size.
+- altr,pid-num-bits: Specifies the number of bits to use to represent the process
+ identifier (PID).
+- altr,tlb-num-ways: Specifies the number of set-associativity ways in the TLB.
+- altr,tlb-num-entries: Specifies the number of entries in the TLB.
+- altr,tlb-ptr-sz: Specifies size of TLB pointer.
+- altr,has-mul: Specifies CPU hardware multipy support, should be 1.
+- altr,has-mmu: Specifies CPU support MMU support, should be 1.
+- altr,has-initda: Specifies CPU support initda instruction, should be 1.
+- altr,reset-addr: Specifies CPU reset address
+- altr,fast-tlb-miss-addr: Specifies CPU fast TLB miss exception address
+- altr,exception-addr: Specifies CPU exception address
+
+Optional properties:
+- altr,has-div: Specifies CPU hardware divide support
+- altr,implementation: Nios II core implementation, this should be "fast";
+
+Example:
+
+cpu@0x0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "altr,nios2-1.0";
+ reg = <0>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+ clock-frequency = <125000000>;
+ dcache-line-size = <32>;
+ icache-line-size = <32>;
+ dcache-size = <32768>;
+ icache-size = <32768>;
+ altr,implementation = "fast";
+ altr,pid-num-bits = <8>;
+ altr,tlb-num-ways = <16>;
+ altr,tlb-num-entries = <128>;
+ altr,tlb-ptr-sz = <7>;
+ altr,has-div = <1>;
+ altr,has-mul = <1>;
+ altr,reset-addr = <0xc2800000>;
+ altr,fast-tlb-miss-addr = <0xc7fff400>;
+ altr,exception-addr = <0xd0000020>;
+ altr,has-initda = <1>;
+ altr,has-mmu = <1>;

+Altera Timer
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be "altr,timer-1.0"
+- reg : Specifies base physical address and size of the registers.
+- interrupt-parent: phandle of the interrupt controller
+- interrupts : Should contain the timer interrupt number
+- clock-frequency : The frequency of the clock that drives the counter, in Hz.
+
+Example:
+
+timer {
+ compatible = "altr,timer-1.0";
+ reg = <0x00400000 0x00000020>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&cpu>;
+ interrupts = <11>;
