2017-10-19dt-bindings: Document common property for daisy-chained devicesLukas Wunner1-0/+26
Many serially-attached GPIO and IIO devices are daisy-chainable. Examples for GPIO devices are Maxim MAX3191x and TI SN65HVS88x: https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX31913.pdf http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn65hvs880.pdf Examples for IIO devices are TI DAC128S085 and TI DAC161S055: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/dac128s085.pdf http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/dac161s055.pdf We already have drivers for daisy-chainable devices in the tree but their devicetree bindings are somewhat inconsistent and ill-named: The gpio-74x164.c driver uses "registers-number" to convey the number of devices in the daisy-chain. (Sans vendor prefix, multiple vendors sell compatible versions of this chip.) The gpio-pisosr.c driver takes a different approach and calculates the number of devices in the daisy-chain by dividing the common "ngpios" property (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt) by 8 (which assumes that each chip has 8 inputs). Let's standardize on a common "#daisy-chained-devices" property. That name was chosen because it's the term most frequently used in datasheets. (A less frequently used synonym is "cascaded devices".)

2017-06-22of: update ePAPR references to point to Devicetree SpecificationFrank Rowand1-1/+1
The Devicetree Specification has superseded the ePAPR as the base specification for bindings. Update files in Documentation to reference the new document. First reference to ePAPR in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cci.txt is generic, remove it. Some files are not updated because there is no hypervisor chapter in the Devicetree Specification: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/powerpc/fsl/msi-pic.txt Documenation/virtual/kvm/api.txt Documenation/virtual/kvm/ppc-pv.txt Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com> Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
2015-04-14of: Document {little,big,native}-endian bindingsKevin Cernekee1-0/+60
These apply to newly converted drivers, like serial8250/libahci/... The examples were adapted from the regmap bindings document.
