firmware: Add Tegra IVC and BPMP support IVC is an inter-processor communication protocol that uses shared memory to exchange data between processors. The BPMP driver makes use of this to communicate with the Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP) and uses an additional hardware synchronization primitive from the HSP block to signal availability of new data (doorbell). Firmware running on the BPMP implements a number of services such as the control of clocks and resets within the system, or the ability to ungate or gate power partitions. * tag 'tegra-for-4.10-firmware' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tegra/linux: dt-bindings: firmware: Allow child nodes inside the Tegra BPMP dt-bindings: Add power domains to Tegra BPMP firmware firmware: tegra: Add BPMP support firmware: tegra: Add IVC library dt-bindings: firmware: Add bindings for Tegra BPMP Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

+NVIDIA Tegra Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP)
+
+The BPMP is a specific processor in Tegra chip, which is designed for
+booting process handling and offloading the power management, clock
+management, and reset control tasks from the CPU. The binding document
+defines the resources that would be used by the BPMP firmware driver,
+which can create the interprocessor communication (IPC) between the CPU
+and BPMP.
+
+Required properties:
+- name : Should be bpmp
+- compatible
+ Array of strings
+ One of:
+ - "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp"
+- mboxes : The phandle of mailbox controller and the mailbox specifier.
+- shmem : List of the phandle of the TX and RX shared memory area that
+ the IPC between CPU and BPMP is based on.
+- #clock-cells : Should be 1.
+- #power-domain-cells : Should be 1.
+- #reset-cells : Should be 1.
+
+This node is a mailbox consumer. See the following files for details of
+the mailbox subsystem, and the specifiers implemented by the relevant
+provider(s):
+
+- .../mailbox/mailbox.txt
+- .../mailbox/nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt
+
+This node is a clock, power domain, and reset provider. See the following
+files for general documentation of those features, and the specifiers
+implemented by this node:
+
+- .../clock/clock-bindings.txt
+- <dt-bindings/clock/tegra186-clock.h>
+- ../power/power_domain.txt
+- <dt-bindings/power/tegra186-powergate.h>
+- .../reset/reset.txt
+- <dt-bindings/reset/tegra186-reset.h>
+
+The BPMP implements some services which must be represented by separate nodes.
+For example, it can provide access to certain I2C controllers, and the I2C
+bindings represent each I2C controller as a device tree node. Such nodes should
+be nested directly inside the main BPMP node.
+
+Software can determine whether a child node of the BPMP node represents a device
+by checking for a compatible property. Any node with a compatible property
+represents a device that can be instantiated. Nodes without a compatible
+property may be used to provide configuration information regarding the BPMP
+itself, although no such configuration nodes are currently defined by this
+binding.
+
+The BPMP firmware defines no single global name-/numbering-space for such
+services. Put another way, the numbering scheme for I2C buses is distinct from
+the numbering scheme for any other service the BPMP may provide (e.g. a future
+hypothetical SPI bus service). As such, child device nodes will have no reg
+property, and the BPMP node will have no #address-cells or #size-cells property.
+
+The shared memory bindings for BPMP
+-----------------------------------
+
+The shared memory area for the IPC TX and RX between CPU and BPMP are
+predefined and work on top of sysram, which is an SRAM inside the chip.
+
+See ".../sram/sram.txt" for the bindings.
+
+Example:
+
+hsp_top0: hsp@03c00000 {
+ ...
+ #mbox-cells = <2>;
+};
+
+sysram@30000000 {
+ compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-sysram", "mmio-sram";
+ reg = <0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x50000>;
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <2>;
+ ranges = <0 0x0 0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x50000>;
+
+ cpu_bpmp_tx: shmem@4e000 {
+ compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp-shmem";
+ reg = <0x0 0x4e000 0x0 0x1000>;
+ label = "cpu-bpmp-tx";
+ pool;
+ };
+
+ cpu_bpmp_rx: shmem@4f000 {
+ compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp-shmem";
+ reg = <0x0 0x4f000 0x0 0x1000>;
+ label = "cpu-bpmp-rx";
+ pool;
+ };
+};
+
+bpmp {
+ compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp";
+ mboxes = <&hsp_top0 TEGRA_HSP_MBOX_TYPE_DB TEGRA_HSP_DB_MASTER_BPMP>;
+ shmem = <&cpu_bpmp_tx &cpu_bpmp_rx>;
+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ #power-domain-cells = <1>;
+ #reset-cells = <1>;
+
+ i2c {
+ compatible = "...";
+ ...
+ };
+};
