A new I3C subsystem has been added and a generic description has been
created to represent the I3C bus and the devices connected on it.
Document this generic representation.

Changes in v2:
- Define how to describe I3C devices in the DT and when it should be
used. Note that the parsing of I3C devices is not yet implemented in
the framework. Will be added when someone really needs it.

+Generic device tree bindings for I3C busses
+===========================================
+
+This document describes generic bindings that should be used to describe I3C
+busses in a device tree.
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+
+- #address-cells - should be <1>. Read more about addresses below.
+- #size-cells - should be <0>.
+- compatible - name of I3C bus controller following generic names
+ recommended practice.
+
+For other required properties e.g. to describe register sets,
+clocks, etc. check the binding documentation of the specific driver.
+
+Optional properties
+-------------------
+
+These properties may not be supported by all I3C master drivers. Each I3C
+master bindings should specify which of them are supported.
+
+- i3c-scl-frequency: frequency (in Hz) of the SCL signal used for I3C
+ transfers. When undefined the core set it to 12.5MHz.
+
+- i2c-scl-frequency: frequency (in Hz) of the SCL signal used for I2C
+ transfers. When undefined, the core looks at LVR values
+ of I2C devices described in the device tree to determine
+ the maximum I2C frequency.
+
+I2C devices
+===========
+
+Each I2C device connected to the bus should be described in a subnode with
+the following properties:
+
+All properties described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c.txt are
+valid here.
+
+New required properties:
+------------------------
+- i3c-lvr: 32 bits integer property (only the lowest 8 bits are meaningful)
+ describing device capabilities as described in the I3C
+ specification.
+
+ bit[31:8]: unused
+ bit[7:5]: I2C device index. Possible values
+ * 0: I2C device has a 50 ns spike filter
+ * 1: I2C device does not have a 50 ns spike filter but supports high
+ frequency on SCL
+ * 2: I2C device does not have a 50 ns spike filter and is not
+ tolerant to high frequencies
+ * 3-7: reserved
+
+ bit[4]: tell whether the device operates in FM or FM+ mode
+ * 0: FM+ mode
+ * 1: FM mode
+
+ bit[3:0]: device type
+ * 0-15: reserved
+
+I3C devices
+===========
+
+All I3C devices are supposed to support DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), and
+are thus discoverable. So, by default, I3C devices do not have to be described
+in the device tree.
+This being said, one might want to attach extra resources to these devices,
+and those resources may have to be described in the device tree, which in turn
+means we have to describe I3C devices.
+
+Another use case for describing an I3C device in the device tree is when this
+I3C device has a static address and we want to assign it a specific dynamic
+address before the DAA takes place (so that other devices on the bus can't
+take this dynamic address).
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+- i3c-pid: PID (Provisional ID). 64-bit property which is used to match a
+ device discovered during DAA with its device tree definition. The
+ PID is supposed to be unique on a given bus, which guarantees a 1:1
+ match. This property becomes optional if a reg property is defined,
+ meaning that the device has a static address.
+
+Optional properties
+-------------------
+- reg: static address. Only valid is the device has a static address.
+- i3c-dynamic-address: dynamic address to be assigned to this device. This
+ property depends on the reg property.
+
+Example:
+
+ i3c-master@0d040000 {
+ compatible = "cdns,i3c-master";
+ clocks = <&coreclock>, <&i3csysclock>;
+ clock-names = "pclk", "sysclk";
+ interrupts = <3 0>;
+ reg = <0x0d040000 0x1000>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ status = "okay";
+ i2c-scl-frequency = <100000>;
+
+ /* I2C device. */
+ nunchuk: nunchuk@52 {
+ compatible = "nintendo,nunchuk";
+ reg = <0x52>;
+ i3c-lvr = <0x10>;
+ };
+
+ /* I3C device with a static address. */
+ thermal_sensor: sensor@68 {
+ reg = <0x68>;
+ i3c-dynamic-address = <0xa>;
+ };
+
+ /*
+ * I3C device without a static address but requiring resources
+ * described in the DT.
+ */
+ sensor2 {
+ i3c-pid = /bits/ 64 <0x39200144004>;
+ clocks = <&clock_provider 0>;
+ };
+ };
