Hi Stephen, Thierry,
Should we fix this or fix the compatible string in the binding document
as just "nvidia,denver" to represent all the Devner CPU revisions just
like some other CPUs did? e.g. arm,cortex-a57, which represents all the
A57 revisions.
I would expect compatible to be:
compatible = "nvidia,tegra132-denver", "nvidia,denver", "arm,armv8";
Because we don't have "nvidia,denver" binding in the document, to do
what you said, supposely I should add that first and fix the binding for
Tegra132, right?
The "nvidia,denver" entry is already present, and hence probably
shouldn't be removed. It can represent "Denver 1.0". We should add the
T132 entry to indicate the specific implementation. Admittedly right now
there's a 1:1 relation between SoC and Denver version. Either/both of
those could in theory be required to trigger specific bug-fixes/WARs.
For later chips which have a different Denver version, I'd expect to see
something like:
compatible = "nvidia,tegraNNN-denver", "nvidia,denverMMM", "arm,armv8";
... where NNN is the SoC version/name and MMM is the Denver version.
There could be extra entries in the property if the new versions are
backwards-compatible with old versions.
Because it's 1:1 relationship, if we have new cores coming later, we
should add both of the compatible string of SoC version and CPU core
version in the ARM CPU binding document, is that correct?
Thanks,
Joseph
