[PATCH v4 2/4] dt-bindings: arm: fsl: rework mu doc

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

 



- Remove software specific description. MU has many use cases
limited only by imagination. So remove this confusing part.
- Add all currently known SoCs with MU
- Make sure this documentation covers not only Firmware specific use
case. Parameters for generic configurations should be described as well.

 NXP i.MX Messaging Unit (MU)
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-The Messaging Unit module enables two processors within the SoC to
-communicate and coordinate by passing messages (e.g. data, status
-and control) through the MU interface. The MU also provides the ability
-for one processor to signal the other processor using interrupts.
-
-Because the MU manages the messaging between processors, the MU uses
-different clocks (from each side of the different peripheral buses).
-Therefore, the MU must synchronize the accesses from one side to the
-other. The MU accomplishes synchronization using two sets of matching
-registers (Processor A-facing, Processor B-facing).
-
-Messaging Unit Device Node:
-=============================
-
 Required properties:
 -------------------
-- compatible :	should be "fsl,<chip>-mu", the supported chips include
-		imx8qxp, imx8qm.
+- compatible :	should be "fsl,<chip>-mu", the supported chips include:
+		fsl,imx6sx-mu	- i.MX 6SoloX
+		fsl,imx7d-mu	- i.MX 7Dual
+		fsl,imx7s-mu	- i.MX 7Solo
+		fsl,imx7ulp-mu	- i.MX 7ULP
+		fsl,imx8qm-mu	- i.MX 8QM
+		fsl,imx8qxp-mu	- i.MX 8QXP
 - reg :		Should contain the registers location and length
 - interrupts :	Interrupt number. The interrupt specifier format depends
 		on the interrupt controller parent.
-- #mbox-cells:  Must be 0. Number of cells in a mailbox
+- #mbox-cells:  Must be:
+		0 - for single channel mode. i.MX8* SCU protocol specific.
+		1 - for multichannel (generic) mode.
+
+Optional properties:
+-------------------
+- clocks :	phandle to the input clock.
+- fsl,mu-side-b : Should be set for side B MU.
