[PATCH v2 0/2] phy: rcar-gen2, rcar-gen3-usb2: add fallback binding

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Add fallback compatibility strings for rcar phy drivers.

In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
SoCs, e.g. Gen 2 and Gen 3. But beyond that its not clear what the
relationship between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that
r8a7790 is older than r8a7791 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a
descendant of the former or vice versa.

We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the
hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears
to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation.

For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a
per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme being adopted for
drivers for Renesas SoCs.

Changes since v1:
* Update new compatibility strings to match the preferred scheme for
  ordering elements
* Rebase

Based on linux-phy/next
